REMICRETE®-D300

Retarding Water-reducing Concrete Admixture With Workability Retention

Properties:

REMICRETE®-D300 is a liquid, plasticizer & retarding concrete admixture formulated to improve the workability of concrete mixes. Once incorporated in the mix, REMICRETE®-D300 is adsorbed on the cement particles surface inducing a powerful deflocculating property, effectively reducing the concrete mixing water demand and improving the physical and mechanical properties of the resultant concrete. REMICRETE®-D300 is based on a blend of modified Lignosulphonate and organic modifiers & retarders designed with the main purpose of reducing workability loss in tropical climates.

Areas of Application:

REMICRETE®-D300 is formulated to be used as retarding and plasticizing chemical concrete admixture to produce high quality in hot climates:

  • Ready mixed concrete enabling longer transportation of the concrete.
  • Prestressed concrete where high quality, low porosity & waterproofing concretes are required.
  • All concrete works such as bridges, basements, etc. where extending workability and setting time are required.
  • Large volume of concrete that is used in slip forming to prevent cold joint formation.

Advantages:

  • Reduces mixing water while maintaining workability.
  • Improves workability and pumping properties.
  • Increases the setting times enabling long transportation of concrete in the hot & tropical.
  • Improves all the physical & mechanical properties of the concrete.
  • Improves surface finishes.
  • Eliminates any risk of segregation, bleeding and creep.
  • Provides highly dense concrete improving the waterproofing properties and protecting the concrete reinforcement from water-borne soluble salts.
  • Water-based, non-flammable, non-toxic, chloride-free and does not contain any harmful.
  • Formulated to be suitable for the Middle East.

Technical Data

  • Appearance: Dark brown liquid
  • Specific Gravity:1.18 ± 0.005 at 23ºC..
  • air-entrainment:< 0.5 % additional air will be entrained.
  • Chloride content: nill.
  • Setting Times: Both initial and final setting times will be delayed. This will be influenced by a mix design, dosage and ambient temperatures.
  • Permeability: Waterproofing properties will be improved, and resistance to water & water soluble salts will be improved.
  • Water reduction: 15 % of mixing water can be reduced. Durability will be improved.
  • Compatibility: Compatible with all types of Portland cements including SRC. It is compatible also with AQUAFIN range of admixtures. Each shall be added separately.
  • Cohesion: Cohesion of the matrix will be increased.
  • Mechanical Properties: All mechanical properties (such as Compressive strength) will be improved.
