FARCOPLAST M20R

Applications

• General purpose ready mix concrete
• Mass concrete
• Architectural concrete
• Recommended for workable and highly workable concrete with stable workability over period of time.

Advantages

• Suitable for hot weather concreting
• High slump retention over prolong periods of time
• Extended setting time avoid cold joints in large pours
• Allows more time for placement and compaction
• Decreased heat of hydration
• Reduced discharge and turn around time for trucks
• Can produce lower product costs with the superplsticizer to job site condition including faster and easier placement, enhanced finish ability and reduced curing costs
• FARCOPLAST M20R improves the rheological and mechanical properties of concrete; i.e. workability, compressive and flexural strength and modulus of elasticity.
• • Improves impermeability to reduce sulfate attac

Method of Use

• FARCOPLAST M20R is supplied ready for use and is completely miscible in water.
• It can be added in to the mixer at the same time as the mixing water.
• It should not be added directly to the cement or dry materials.
• FARCOPLAST M20R may be added at the end of mixing process by dispensing equipment or it may also be added to the concrete in a drum of ready mix truck, it should be mixed at least 2 minutes at high speed.

Dosage

• FARCOPLAST M20R is normally dosed at a rate of 500gr – 2000gr per 100kg of cementitious materials (0.5%-2% by weight of CM).
• Use of upper end of these ranges may result in severe extended set.
• Higher dosages may be utilized for special conditions and applications.
• Field testing is recommended to determine the optimum dosage and effect on both plastic and hardened concrete properties such as: workability and workability retention, setting time, early and ultimate strength
