Flocrete SP159
High range water reducing admixture with workability retention properties
Flocrete SP159 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 SP159 has strong workability retention which helps in long distance and hot weather concrete deliveries, and is particularly suitable for ready-mix concrete.
- Excellent slump retention properties.
- Cold joints can be avoided by extending initial and final concrete setting time.
- Improved workability reduces placing and compaction problems.
- Higher strength with same cement content.
- Saving cement without affecting strength specifications.
- Minimising segregation problems by improving cohesion.
- More durable concrete by considerable reduction in permeability.
- Where high workability retention and retardation are of prime importance.
- Long distance and hot weather concrete deliveries.
- To produce high quality concrete of improved durability and water tightness.
Flocrete SP159 is available in 25 litre pails, 210 litre drums and 1000 litre bulks supply.
Flocrete SP159 has a shelf life of 12 months from date of manufacture if stored at temperatures between 2°C and 50°C.
The guidance dosage is between 0.5 - 2.5% of cementitious materials in the mix, including GGBFS, PFA or microsilica.
Flocrete SP159 complies with ASTM C494, Type G.
