High-Performance Superplasticizer Concrete Admixture
Standard
Ministry of Public Works Specification No: 04.613/1-A3
TS EN 934-2 Tables 3.1 and 3.2: High-range water-reducing / superplasticizer concrete admixture
Description
Aydosnew® Flow 40 is a next-generation polycarboxylate-based superplasticizer concrete admixture that provides high-range water reduction, excellent workability retention, and both early and final high strength development.
Fields of Application
Ready-mix concrete production
Precast and prefabricated concrete production
Concrete mixes requiring excellent flowability and workability retention
Concrete requiring dense and smooth surfaces
Reinforced concrete with dense rebar placement and challenging placement conditions
Concrete requiring high early and final strength
High-performance and durable concrete mixes
Injection and ground stabilization applications
Concrete structures requiring low permeability
Architectural, structural, and artistic concrete works
Complex and geometrically detailed formworks
Self-compacting concrete (SCC) production
Features / Advantages
Reduces segregation and bleeding, improving abrasion resistance
Significantly reduces mixing water requirements
Provides excellent self-compacting properties
Enhances both early and final compressive strength
Reduces the rate of carbonation and improves shrinkage and creep characteristics
Enables long-distance concrete pumping
Provides void-free and smooth concrete surfaces
Allows normal setting without retardation
Reduces curing time and temperature in precast production, contributing to energy savings
Enables high unit weight and strength
Prevents rapid slump loss in concrete
Dosage
For flowable and self-compacting concrete: 0.5 – 2.0 kg per 100 kg of binder (cement – microsilica – fly ash) is recommended.
The dosage may vary depending on aggregate characteristics, concrete grade, water/cement ratio, water quality, and ambient temperature. Therefore, trial mixes should be conducted in laboratory conditions to determine the optimal dosage.
When adjusting consistency, the admixture's strong water-reducing capability should be considered, and excessive water addition must be avoided.
