Hyperplast PC408
High performance polycarboxylic ether based superplasticiser
Hyperplast PC408 is a high performance superplasticising admixture based on polycarboxylic ether polymers with long chains specially designed to enable the water content of the concrete to perform more effectively.
This effect can be used in high strength concrete and flowable concrete mixes, to achieve highest concrete durability and performance.
- Optimises cement utilization.
- High density and impermeable concrete through very high water reduction.
- Improves shrinkage and creep behaviors.
- Minimizes segregation and bleeding problems by improving cohesion.
- Higher early and ultimate compressive strengths.
- Increases durability and resistance to aggressive atmospheric conditions thorough reduced permeability.
- High strength and high performance concrete.
- Structures with congested reinforcement.
- Improved cohesion allow for use in mass concrete pours and piling.
Hyperplast PC408 is available in 25 litre pails, 210 litre drums and 1000 litre bulks supply.
Hyperplast PC408 has a shelf life of 12 months from date of manufacture if stored at temperatures between 2°C and 50°C.
The recommended dosage of Hyperplast PC408 is 0.5 - 2.5 litre per 100 kg of cementitious materials in the mix, including GGBFS, PFA or microsilica.
Representative trials should be conducted to determine the optimum dosage of Hyperplast PC408 to meet the performance requirements by using the materials and conditions in actual use.
Hyperplast PC408 complies with ASTM C494, Type G and BS EN 934-2.
