PolyЯRon PC 200

New generation low range concrete plasticizer

Description

PolyЯRon PC200 is a low range water reducing and retarding super plasticizer based on modified polycarboxylic ether. This high performance super plasticising admixture based on polycarboxylic ether polymers with long chains is specially designed to enable the water content of the concrete to perform more effectively. This effect can be used in high strength concrete and flowable concrete mixes, to achieve highest concrete durability and performance. PolyЯRon PC 200 exhibits prolonged workability retention especially in high ambient temperatures.

Advantages

  • Optimises cement utilization.
  • Improves shrinkage and creep behaviors.
  • High density and impermeable concrete through very high water reduction.
  • Higher early and ultimate compressive strengths.
  • Minimizes segregation and bleeding problems by improving cohesion.
  • Increases durability and resistance to aggressive atmospheric conditions thorough reduced permeability.

Application area

PolyЯRon PC200 is suitable for all kinds of high strength, high cement content and low water cement ratio concrete. Typical application includes

  • High strength and high performance concrete.
  • Structures with congested reinforcement.
  • Improved cohesion allow for use in mass concrete pours and piling.

Applicable standards

PolyЯRon PC200complies with ASTM C-494 type B, D and G.

Dosage

The normal dosage is 0.5 to 1.8 litre per 100kg cement. The optimum dosage should be determined by conducting laboratory/site trials considering proposed mix design, ambient conditions and performance requirement such as workability, early rate of hardening and compressive strength.
