DEZOCRETE 1
DEZOCRETE 1 is a type of dual-purpose concrete admixture that acts as a water-repellent. In addition to its ability to improve the workability and efficiency of concrete, it also has the capability to reduce water permeability and absorption. Therefore, it can be a suitable option for enhancing the performance and waterproofing of concrete.
The product DEZOCRETE 1 is applicable for various types of concrete, including:
Concrete for water transfer channels and other water-related structures
Concrete for pools and ponds
Production of waterproof concrete for water treatment plants and water storage tanks
The advantages of using DEZOCRETE 1 include:
Increased slump
Production of waterproof concrete resistant to corrosive substances and chemicals
Waterproofing admixture that prevents surface cracks
Water-repellent admixture prevents carbonation.
Facilitates pumping.
Water-repellent admixture reduces water in concrete by approximately 10%.
The physical and chemical characteristics of the concrete admixture are as follows:
Color: Brown or white
Anionic nature
Physical state: Liquid
Maximum Chloride content (PPM): 500
Specific gravity (kg/L) at 20 degrees Celsius: 0.02+-1.1
Consumption:
DEZOCRETE 1 can be used in the range of 0.8 to 1.5 percent by weight of cementations materials. Excessive use of the water-reducing admixture can cause delayed setting of concrete, which is more severe for highly sulfate-resistant cements.
It is recommended to determine the consumption rate of DEZOCRETE 1 and its impact on the properties of fresh and hardened concrete, such as workability, maintenance of performance, setting, and initial and final strengths, by conducting tests on-site with the available materials and conditions.
usage of a concrete admixture:
It can be mixed ready for use with water in any ratio.
It can be added simultaneously with water during mixing.
It should not be directly added to cement and dry components.
At the end of the mixing process, it can be added to the batching mixer or inside the truck mixer. In this case, for each cubic meter, one minute of mixing at high speed should be done.
Compatibility with cement compounds:
DEZOCRETE 1, a water-reducing admixture for concrete. It can be used with various types of cement and cement substitutes, such as silica fume and slag.
Compatibility with other adding:
The admixture can be mixed with water before adding it to the mixer or directly added to the mixer. It should not be added directly to cement or dry materials. DEZOCRETE 1 is compatible with other admixtures, but it should not be mixed with them unless the manufacturer allows it. It is recommended to consult with a technical unit for green concrete (specialist and technical clinic of Iran) for using DEZOCRETE 1 with other admixtures.
Packaging:
DEZOCRETE 1 is available in 20-gallon and 220-kilogram containers.
Storage:
It is recommended to store in temperatures between 5 and 40 degrees Celsius, away from direct sunlight. If the material freezes, raise the temperature until it melts and then mix it with a mixer.
Shelf life:
With proper storage and under recommended conditions, it can be stored for up to 12 months in its original packaging.
Safety:
DEZOCRETE 1 is a low-harm substance. Under normal conditions, it does not cause harm to the skin. However, it is recommended to use protective gloves, goggles, and protective clothing when handling it to prevent contact with the skin and eyes. If contact with skin or eyes occurs, rinse immediately with water.
Technical services:
The technical department of Rayehe Baton Sabz (Iran's Technical and Specialized Concrete Clinic) is available to provide technical advice related to concrete, concrete mixing, and proper use of materials in the workplace. They also offer technical services.
