REMICRETE®-G1000

Retarding, High-range, Water-reducing Super plasticizing Concrete Admixture

Properties:

REMICRETE-G 1000 is a retarding, high-range, water reducing, super plasticizing concrete admixture. REMICRETE-G 1000 is formulated to produce high quality concrete in hot climates with excellent flowing properties whilst increasing retardation and extending transportation times. Once incorporated in the mix, REMICRETE-G 1000 is adsorbed on the cement particles surface inducing a powerful deflocculating property, effectively reducing mixing water demand and improving both physical and mechanical properties of the resultant concrete. REMICRETE-G 1000 is based on a selection of synthetic polymers.

Areas of Application:

REMICRETE-G 1000 is typically used in hot climates to produce:

  • Precast concrete
  • Ready mix concrete
  • Slabs, basements and foundations
  • Walls, columns and piers
  • Bridges and related structures
  • Easy to finish concrete slabs
  • Mass concrete
  • Slip-form concrete

Advantages:

  • Reduces effectively the mixing water.
  • Improves workability, placing and pumping properties.
  • Reduces compaction time.
  • Enable long transportation times.
  • Can be used to save cement.
  • Improves physical and mechanical properties.
  • Improves surface finishes.
  • Improved cohesion minimizes risks of segregation, bleeding and creep.
  • Provides high dense concrete which improves the waterproofing properties protection of reinforcement steel against detrimental water-borne ion attack.
  • Water-based, nonflammable, non-toxic, chloride-free and non-corrosive.
  • Formulated to be suitable for the Middle East conditions.

Technical Data

  • Appearance: Dark brown liquid
  • Specific Gravity: 1.20 + 0.005 @ 20°C
  • Permeability: Reduces concrete porosity, improves waterproofing and durability.
  • Water Reduction: 25% of mixing water can be reduced.
  • Air-Entrainment: Less than 1 % additional air is entrained.
  • Setting Times: Initial and final setting time are extended, compared to the control and based on dosage, cement type, mix design, ambient temperature and RH.
  • Compressive strength: Increased early and ultimate compressive strengths.
  • Cohesion: Improved cohesion reduces risk of segregation
  • Compatibility: Compatible with all types of Portland cement including Sulfate Resisting Cement (SRC). Compatible with other SCHOMBURG admixtures when dispensed separately
