Batimix HWR 1506 R

Polycarboxylate-based superplasticizer for high-performance concrete

Description

BATIMIX HWR 1506 R 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 1506 R 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 1506 R 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 1506 R is characterised by the following:

In the plastic state:

• Higher workability without adding extra water
• Reduced water content up to 30% 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

0.4%-3.2%

Color
