Properties:
REMICRETE®-G3000 is a retarding and high-range water-reducing concrete admixture with workability retention. REMICRETE®-G3000 is formulated to produce high-quality concrete in hot climates with excellent flowing properties and to improve early & ultimate concrete strengths with a set retarding effect enabling long transportation of concrete as well as to enable the use of pozzolanic materials such as silica fume, fly ash and blast furnace slag. It effectively reduces the concrete mixing water, so it improves all physical and mechanical properties of the concrete. Once incorporated in the mix REMICRETE®-G3000 is adsorbed on cement particles introducing a powerful deflocculating behaviour which helps in the reduction of the mixing water and allowing increasing both early and ultimate strengths. REMICRETE®-G3000 is based on selected synthetic polymers & retarders and manufactured under controlled conditions assuring consistent quality.
Areas of Application:
REMICRETE®-G3000 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 finish concrete slabs
- Mass concrete
- When pozzolanic materials such as silica fume, fly ash and blast furnace slag will be used.
Advantages:
- Reduces effectively the mixing water.
- Improves workability, placing and pumping properties.
- Easier placing of concrete, and compaction and reduces the time of vibration & cost.
- Can be used to save cement.
- Enable long transportation times.
- Improves physical and mechanical properties.
- Improves surface finishes.
- Eliminates the risk of segregation, shrinkage, bleeding and creep.
- Provides highly dense concrete which improves the waterproofing properties and protection of reinforcement steel against detrimental water-borne ion attacks.
- Water-based, non-flammable, non-toxic, chloride-free and non-corrosive.
- Formulated to be suitable for the Middle East conditions.
