PLASTICIZER K1A CONC.
High-quality plasticizer for semi-dry concrete
Product Description
PLASTICIZER K1A CONC. is used for the production of concrete elements from no-slump/semi-dry concrete.
Mode of Action
PLASTICIZER K1A CONC. will reduce the surface tension of the gauging water and therefore improve wetting of the cement. Given the low w/c ratio, an exceptionally high grade of hydration is achieved.
When producing with two layers with a high sand content in the face mix, the bond with the back mix will be improved.
Benefits:
- Increase in green and final strength
- Increase in density
- Reduced tendency to effloresce
- Intensified colors when pigments are used
- Smoother surfaces
Dosing and Special Information
PLASTICIZER K1A CONC. should be added with the gauging water, however, it may also be dosed directly onto the aggregates.
Preliminary tests according to official national standards are always required before use!
