Flocrete SP42W
High range water reducing admixture with workability retention properties
Flocrete SP42W 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 SP42W has strong workability retention which helps in long distance and hot weather concrete deliveries, and is particularly suitable for ready-mix concrete.
- Higher strength with same cement content.
- Minimising segregation problems by improving cohesion.
- Saving cement without affecting strength specifications.
- More durable concrete by considerable reduction in permeability.
- Excellent slump retention properties.
- Improved workability reduces placing and compaction problems.
- Cold joints can be avoided by extending initial and final concrete setting time.
- Reduced shrinkage and creep in the hardened state of the concrete.
- To produce high quality concrete of improved durability and water tightness.
- Long distance and hot weather concrete deliveries.
- Where high workability retention and retardation are of prime importance.
Flocrete SP42W is available in 25 litre pails, 210 litre drums and 1000 litre bulks supply.
Flocrete SP42W has a shelf life of 12 months from date of manufacture if stored at temperatures between 2°C and 50°C.
The recommended dosage is between 0.90 - 3.00 litre per 100 kg of cementitious materials in the mix, including GGBFS, PFA or microsilica.
Flocrete SP42W complies with ASTM C494, Type B, F and G, depending on the dose.
