DEZOCRETE R-540
HIGH RANGE WATER REDUCER / SUPER PLASTICIZER AND RETARDING ADMIXTURE
DESCRIPTION
DEZOCRETE R-540 is a high range water-reducer and super plasticizing admixture with controlled retardation.
It meets the requirements of the following standards: ASTM C494/C494 M TYPE G, EN 934 and INSO 2930
ADVANTAGES
- Reduces water-cement ratio up to 20%
- Excellent workability and workability retention of concrete
- Excellent pumpability of concrete
- It can be used with all types of Portland cement
- Improves concrete consistency
- Prevents creep and shrinkage of concrete
- Considerably reduces permeability
- Increases the compressive strength of concrete
APPLICATION
- Enables production and transportation of concrete in normal weather conditions
- Mass concrete
- Slabs, foundations, columns, shear and retaining walls, deck bridges, etc.
DOSAGE
The optimum dosage of DEZOCRETE R-540 can be determined by trials in the site. Depending on concrete mix design (sizes and types of aggregates, cement content, water/cement ratio, ambient temperature and concreting conditions), a dosage of between 0.45 and 1.0 percent by weight of cement or cementitious material is recommended.
For use with other range of dosage, contact CONCRETE CLINIC OF IRAN GROUP Technical Services Department.
DIRECTION OF USE
1- DEZOCRETE R-540 could be added to a part of concrete mixing water then added to the concrete mix.
2- DEZOCRETE R-540 could be added to the concrete mix during the mixing cycle at the same time as the water or the aggregate or it could be added to ready-mix concrete before placing concrete.
3- Admixtures must be weighed carefully.
