FARCOMENT M60

High–Range plasticizing And Retarding Admixture for Concrete

Product Description

FARCOMENT M60 is a high range water reducing and plasticizing admixture with retarding properties for concrete, which will reduce water demand up to 20%. It is formulated to produce workable concrete with high workability retention to enable large or difficult pours to be made. The duration of workability depends not only on the temperature but also on the type and brand of cement, the nature of the aggregates, the method of transportation and the amount of added admixture.

Product Description

FARCOMENT M60 is a high range water reducing and plasticizing admixture with retarding properties for concrete, which will reduce water demand up to 20%. It is formulated to produce workable concrete with high workability retention to enable large or difficult pours to be made. The duration of workability depends not only on the temperature but also on the type and brand of cement, the nature of the aggregates, the method of transportation and the amount of added admixture.

Mechanism of Action

As a dispersing agent, FARCOMENT M60 lessens natural inter particle attraction between cement grains in water. It does this by colloidal action, by adsorption on the cement particles thus reducing their tendency to clump together and makes the mix more workable with less water. FARCOMENT M60 increases the gel content of the concrete, the increased gel content adds to the water retention and internal cohesiveness of the mix, reducing bleeding and segregation as it increases workability and place ability.

Standard Compliance

FARCOMENT M60 complies with:

  • ASTM C 494 Type G
  • EN 934 -2 –Table 11 .1 / 11.2
  • ISIRI 2930 –Table 12 , 13
  • Both water reducing at low dosages and high range water reducing at higher dosages.
