Product Details

Advantages:

•  Improved workability – Easier, quicker placing and compaction.
• Increased strength – Provides high early strength if water reduction is taken advantage of.
• Improved quality – Denser, close textured concrete with reduced porosity and hence enhanced durability.
• Higher cohesion – Risk of segregation and bleeding minimised; thus aids pumping of concrete

Standards compliance:

Conplast SP430 G8 complies with IS:9103:1999 and BS:5075 Part 3 – 1985 and ASTM-C494M – 99a, 1999 Type ‘G’ as a high range water reducing admixture & IS 2645- 2003 as an integral waterproofing compound.

• Compatibility : Can be used with all types of cements except high alumina cement. Conplast SP430 G8 is compatible with other Conplast admixtures when added separately to the mix. Site trials should be carried out to optimize dosages.
• Workability : Can be used to produce flowing concrete that requires no compaction. Some minor adjustments may be required to produce high workable mix without segregation.
• Cohesion : Cohesion is improved due to dispersion of cement particles thus minimising segregation and improving surface finish.
• Compressive strength : Early strength is increased upto 40 to 50% if water reduction is taken advantage of. Generally, there is improvement in strength upto 20% depending upon W/C ratio and other mix parameters.
• Durability : Reduction in W/C ratio enables increase in density and impermeability thus enhancing durability of concrete.

Application instructions:

The optimum dosage is best determined by site trials with the concrete mix which enables the effects of workability, strength gain or cement reduction to be measured. Site trials with Conplast SP430 G8 should always be compared with mix containing no admixture. As a guide, the rate of addition is generally in the range of 0.6 – 2% by weight of cement.Conplast SP430 G8 BD Price

Over dosing:

An over dose above the recommended level of admixture may result in high workability, air entrainment and retardation of setting time depending on the ambient temperature of cure. As such, more than the recommended dosage may be used if necessary by ascertaining the performance in the lab trials only before using in actual site conditions.

Dispensing:

The correct quantity of Conplast SP430 G8 should be used by means of a dispenser. The measured quantity of Conplast SP430 G8 should be added along with a part of gauging water incase of batching plants. Alternatively, correct dosage should be used with about 20% of the total water in the last phase after the mix has been prewetted.

Mix design:

Fosroc has a dedicated advisory service on Concrete Mix Design and can be contacted if assistance is required.
