Batimix HWR 1503

Polycarboxylate-based superplasticizer for high-performance concrete

Description

BATIMIX HWR 1503 is a liquid high-range water-reducing (superplasticizer) admixture for high-performance concrete. It is based on synthetic polycarboxylate acid derivatives and on carefully selected chemicals.

Main Purpose

BATIMIX HWR 1503 significantly improves concrete workability and allows an effective reduction in the free water content. It is a superior deflocculating product, with a highly marked capacity to disperse cement agglomerates and flocks normally found in a concrete mix. The adsorbed superplasticizer molecules at the cement-water interface induce repulsive forces due to steric hindrance between polymer layers. Thus specified concrete strength grades are achieved with significantly reduced cement content and/or increased workability.

Applications using BATIMIX HWR 1503 include all types of concrete castings such as plain, self-consolidating, reinforced, precast, read-mixed, lightweight, pumped, and shotcrete.

Features

Concrete prepared with BATIMIX HWR 1503 is characterised by the following:

In the plastic state:

• Higher workability without adding extra water
• Reduced water content up to 40% with minimum secondary effects
• Enhanced homogeneity, cohesion, and pumping ability of the mix
• Normal setting characteristics under cool conditions

In the hardened state:

• Increased mechanical strengths – compressive, flexural, and bonding
• Reduced shrinkage, creep, and water permeability
• Enhanced concrete durability and surface appearance

Dosage

0.2%-1.5%

Color

Brown liquid

Available Packages

• Bulk
