Viscosity modifier for improved thixotropy and homogeneity
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.
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.
Mortars prepared with BATIMIX Thixo M-810 are characterized by the following:
In the plastic state:
In the hardened state:
0.2% to 0.8% of the cementitious materials
Brown liquid
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.
