Concrete & Mortar Admixtures

CHEMIUM 395 is an ideal admixture for high performance transported concrete, for example very low W/C ratio. It is used widely in the transported concrete industry, achieving very high early and final strength and high concrete density. It offers very long term plasticity to normal concrete.

Advantages

  • Flowable pumpable concrete with very low W/C ratio and without reducing slump.
  • It increases watertightness of concrete, due to high water reducing effect.
  • It reduces or eliminates heating in precast.
  • It does not require vibration of concrete.
  • It ameliorates the surface texture and finish of concrete.
  • It increases the early (16-24h) and final strength.
  • It ameliorates the adhesion of concrete on the reinforcement.
  • It reduces shrinking and cracking.
  • It has a chloride content below 0.1%.

CHEMIUM 395, due to long lasting plasticity which it achieves, can be mixed to the mixer of the plant, or into the concrete truck . The duration of its effect is up to 2-3 hours at 20°C.

Dosage

For normal conditions from 0.5 to 1.2% on cement weight. The dosage depends on the temperature, the quantity and quality of cement and aggregates, the W/C ratio, etc. and can be adapted following suitable trials.

CHEMIUM 395 is compatible with the range of admixtures offered by our company, except the SPL range.
