PolyЯRon PCP 500
New generation Mid range water reducing plasticising admixture
Description
PolyЯRon PCP 500 is a is a normal setting midrange water-reducing and plasticizing admixture for concrete utilizing polycarboxylate technology.
It is designed to facilitate the placing and finishing of precast- concrete that is highly flowable and workable for extended periods of time with normal
setting and high early strength.
Advantages
- Improves the quality of concrete by decreasing water-cementitious ratio.
- Increases high early and ultimate strengths both compressive and flexural.
- High durability and increased density.
- Reduces damage caused by freezing and thawing.
- Reduces water content needed for a given workability (12-40%).
- Reduces surface bleeding.
- Reduces cracking, creep, and shrinkage.
- Reduces segregation and increase cohesiveness.
- Improves finishability and workability of concrete.
- Improves pumpability of concrete.
- Maintains slump life during extended mixing times.
- Reduces permeability and salt penetration.
- Higher productivity and reduced labor.
Application area
- PolyЯRon PCP is recommended for use in concrete where higher flowability and increased early and ultimate strengths are required..
- PolyЯRon PCP improves flowability and strength while lowering placement labor costs.
- Reduced shrinkage and creep
- Improved resistance to sulfate attack
Dosage
The normal dosage is 0.5 to 2.0 litres per 100kg cement which includes replacements (if any) such as microsilica, GGBFS, and fly ash. In case if the required dosage rate
is more than 2.0 litres per 100kg cement, consult HPI technical service department to customize the solution.
The optimum dosage should be determined by conducting laboratory/site trials considering proposed mix design, ambient conditions and performance requirements.
Applicable standards
PolyЯRon PCP 700 complies with ASTM C-494 Type F.
