Flocrete FA
High range water reducing superplasticiser admixture
Flocrete FA is superplasticising admixture formulated from selected polymers specially designed to enable the water content of the concrete to perform more
effectively.
This effect can be used to improve workability, to increase ultimate strengths or to facilitate a reduction in the cement content while sustaining mix properties.
- High strength increase with same cement content.
- Earlier formwork stripping by increasing early strength.
- Improved workability, reduces placing and compaction problems.
- Cement saving without affecting concrete strength and workability.
- Minimising segregation and bleeding problems by improving cohesion.
- More durable concrete as a result of reduction in permeability and lower water to cement ratio.
- Low water cement ratio, high strength concrete.
- To accelerate early strength development.
- To produce high quality concrete of improved durability and after tightness.
- Precast concrete.
Flocrete FA is available in 25 litre pails.
Flocrete FA has a shelf life of 12 months from date of manufacture if stored at temperatures between 2°C and 50°C.
The recommended dosage of Flocrete FA is 0.80 - 2.80 litre per 100 kg of cementitious materials in the mix, including GGBFS, PFA or microsilica.
Representative trials should be conducted to determine the optimum dosage of Flocrete FA to meet the performance requirements by using the materials and conditions in actual use.
Flocrete FA complies with ASTM C494, Type A and F and BS 5075, Part 3.
