Retarders

CHEM BV-83, added to the concrete mass and cement mortar causes

  • increase of the initial and final compressive and flexural strength.
  • increase of plasticity.
  • increase of watertightness.
  • decrease of shrinking during setting (no cracks)
  • reduce of the cement amount.
  • increased pumpability, improved pumping properties.
  • increase of workability time.

Advantages

  • It does not affect the reinforcing steel or other building materials.
  • It is non-flammable and non-toxic.

CHEM BV-83 is added to the mixing water in quantities from 0.2 to 0.6% on cement weight. The dosage can be raised, without side effects, after suitable trials. For normal conditions 0.4% on cement weight is recommended (habitual dosage).

CHEM BV-83 is compatible with the range of admixtures offered by our company.
