Cem-Add AC130
Premium quality, high solids liquid acrylic copolymer additive for the GFRC production process
Cem-Add AC130 is a high solids single component acrylic copolymer emulsion. It is designed to improve the physical properties of GFRC systems (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete). GFRC is an environment friendly composite system with low consumption of energy and used to produce great varieties of products based on cement-based composite material reinforced with alkali-resistance fiber.
The fibers add flexural, tensile and impact strength and the resulting material allows the production of strong light weight products used in architectural, civil engineering and many other applications. GFRC has reached a great position among Architects, Designers, Engineers and end users for its flexibility to meet performance, appearance, and cost.
- Eliminates the need for wet curing.
- Improves significantly the physical properties especially the flexural strength.
- Improves the workability, and the consistency of the cementitious matrix.
- Gives a sprayable non-sag mix.
- UV stable polymer.
- Chloride free.
- Cem-Add AC130 is free from formaldehyde and from any corrosion additives.
Cem-Add AC130 is used in the formulation of glass reinforced concrete products. As GFRC is a mixture of several materials, the properties of GFRC vary with the production method, amount and type of glass fiber and composition of the cementitious matrix.
In this matrix Cem-Add AC130 plays a major role in achieving the long term physical properties (especially the flexural, tensile, flexibility, etc.) and the elimination of the wet cure process for achieving the maximum strengths.
GFRC having Cem-Add AC130 is used in:
- Artificial rock designs.
- Concrete lining for durability.
- Architectural panels and land scape areas.
- Composite mouldings counter top systems.
Cem-Add AC130 is available in 5, 25 and 200 litres drums.
Cem-Add AC130 has a shelf life of 12 months from date of manufacture if stored on shaded area at temperatures between 5°C and 40°C.
Protect from freezing.
Cem-Add AC130 complies with Appendix G of MNL 130-09, The Manual for Quality Control for Plants and Production of Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete Products.
