RB-P1 WATER REDUCING PLASTICISER

APPLICATION FIELDS

To increase / extend workability.
To increase compressive strength.
To effect cement economies.
For hot weather concreting.
To reduce water content.
In pre-stressed concrete.
In areas of congested reinforcement where high workability is of benefit.
In pre-cast concrete manufacture.
In concrete brick and block manufacture.
Wherever reduced water content would be of benefit to reduce permeability.
In hot weather to extend workability.

FEATURES

Significantly improves the workability therefore easing placing.
Improves the cohesive properties of the concrete helping to reduce segregation and bleeding.
Of particular benefit in hot climatic conditions when used to extend workability.
Enables economies in mix designs to be achieved thereby saving cement.

PACKAGING

RB-P1 is available in 220 kg drums and 20 kg gallons.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Physical state: liquid

Density: Approximately 1.2 kg/l

Chloride content: According to standard

Color: brown

Minimum consumption temperature: 5 ⁰C

STANDARDS

ASTM C494: Types B & D

ISIRI: 2930

DOSAGE

A dosage range of 0.5kg to 1kg per 100kg cement is recommended as a starting point.

Note: don’t use more than 1.2 kg RB-P1 per 100 kg cement.

DIRECTION FOR USE

RB-P1 should be added to the concrete mix during the mixing cycle at the same time as the water and the aggregates. The maximum effect is achieved when the RB-P1 is added after the addition of 50 to 70 % of the water. Never add RB-P1 to the dry cement. Keep mixing at high rate for 60 seconds in order to complete mixing.

STORAGE

RB-P1 should be stored in original containers and at above 5 degrees Centigrade. If frozen gradually thaw and agitate until completely reconstituted.

SAFETY

RB-P1 is not a fire or health hazard. Spillages should be washed down immediately with cold water. For further information refer to the material safety data sheet.
