Flocrete RP300
Retarding and water reducing admixture
Flocrete RP300 is 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. Flocrete RP300 has retarding property, this effect can be used overcome transportation delay problems and where long setting time is required.
- Improved workability, reduces placing and compaction problems.
- Cold joints can be avoided by extending initial and final concrete setting time.
- Higher strength with same cement content.
- Cement saving without affecting strength.
- More durable concrete as a result of reduction in permeability and lower water to cement ratio.
- Long concrete deliveries.
- Hot weather concreting.
- Where high workability retention and retardation are required.
- To produce high quality concrete of improved durability and water tightness.
- To improve cohesion in concrete mixes.
Flocrete RP300 is available in 25 litre pails, 210 litre drums and 1000 litre bulks supply.
Flocrete RP300 has a helf life of 12 months from date of manufacture if stored at temperatures between 2°C and 50°C.
The guidance dosage of Flocrete RP300 is 0.30 to 0.70 litre per 100kg of cementitious materials in the mix, including GGBFS, PFA or microsilica.
Representative trials should be conducted to determine the optimum dosage of Flocrete RP300 to meet the performance requirements by using the materials and conditions in actual use.
Flocrete RP300 complies with ASTM C494 Type B &D and with BS 5075 Part 1.
