Batimix Thixo M-810

Viscosity modifier for improved thixotropy and homogeneity

Description

BATIMIX Thixo M-810 is a ready-to-use liquid admixture designed to modify the viscosity of fresh mortars and grouts. In conjunction with superplasticizer agents, it yields highly flowable mixes that exhibit no bleeding or segregation.

Main Purpose

BATIMIX Thixo M-810 enhances the cohesiveness of highly flowable mortars. It reduces the risk of material separation during application and until the onset of hardening.

It incorporates water-soluble polymers characterized by their long-chains of complex forms that adhere to the periphery of mixing water molecules in a cement paste. The chains can intertwine and develop attractive forces through hydrogen bonds and polymer entanglements, resulting in increased plastic viscosity and yield stress, even in high water-cement ratio mixtures.

BATIMIX Thixo M-810 is used to produce mortars and grouts for shotcrete and repair works, such as injection, patching, and pointing.

Features

Mortars prepared with BATIMIX Thixo M-810 are characterized by the following:

In the plastic state:

  • Greatly reduced levels of bleeding and segregation
  • Increased cohesiveness with fewer risks of mixture constituents separating
  • Enhanced water retaining properties over time
  • Improved stability of fresh mortar during casting and thereafter
  • Thixotropic action, providing enhanced homogeneity
  • Sag-resistance in shotcrete applications

In the hardened state:

  • At normal dosages, no detrimental effect on setting time
  • Improved durability and better surface quality

Dosage

0.2% to 0.8% of the cementitious materials

Health and Safety

BATIMIX Thixo M-810 is not a hazardous material. However, it should not be swallowed or allowed to come into contact with skin and eyes. Suitable gloves and goggles should be worn. For additional information, kindly refer to the product’s Material Safety Data Sheet.
