TS EN 934-2 Table 3.1 and 3.2: High water-reducing / superplasticizer concrete additive

Description

Aydosnew® Flow 365 is a next-generation high-performance superplasticizer concrete additive based on polycarboxylate. It significantly reduces concrete mix water, provides high early and final strength, increases workability, and prevents consistency loss.

Applications

• Ready-mix concrete production that needs to be transported over long distances in hot climates.

• Used to overcome consistency loss occurring in hot, windy, and humid weather.

• Floor and field concretes.

• Foundations, slabs, beams, columns, and shear walls.

• Bridge, viaduct, tunnel, airport, and dam concretes.

• Precast and prefabricated concrete production.

• Concrete requiring high final strength.

• Concrete requiring excellent workability and consistency retention.

• Concrete requiring dense and smooth surfaces.

• Self-compacting concrete (SCC) production.

Properties / Advantages

• Provides significant increases in both early and final strength of concrete.

• Maintains concrete consistency for long periods during summer months, eliminating the need for re-adjustment.

• Reduces mix water significantly in concrete requiring very high water reduction (25%-35%).

• Prevents shrinkage cracks that may occur due to high hydration heat.

• Reduces the rate of carbonation in concrete.

• Provides self-compacting properties to the concrete.

• Allows high unit weight and strength potential.

• Eliminates the risk of segregation.

• Improves water impermeability due to the low water/cement ratio.

• Increases pumpability.

• Provides dense, smooth surfaces.

• Eliminates noise pollution by removing the need for vibration.

Dosage

• For flowing and self-compacting concretes: It is recommended to use between 0.5 - 2.0 kg per 100 kg of binder (cement-microsilica-fly ash).
• The dosage of the additive may vary depending on aggregate properties, concrete grade, water/cement ratio, water quality, and ambient temperature. Therefore, it is recommended to perform preliminary trial mixes in the laboratory.
• During consistency adjustment, the high water-reduction capacity of the additive must be taken into account, and excessive water should be avoided in the mixture.
