Flocrete RP55
Retarding and water reducing admixture
Flocrete RP55 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 RP55 has retarding property, this effect can be used overcome transportation.
- 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 RP55 is available in 25 litre pails, 210 litre drums and 1000 litre bulks supply.
Flocrete RP55 has a shelf life of 12 months from date of manufacture if stored at temperatures between 2°C and 50°C.
The guidance dosage of Flocrete RP55 is 0.30 - 0.9 litre/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 RP55 to meet the performance requirements by using the materials and conditions in actual use.
Flocrete RP55 complies with ASTM C494, Type B and D and with BS5075, Part 1.
