Aydosnew Flow 60

High-Performance Superplasticizer Concrete Admixture

Standard
Ministry of Public Works Poz 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 superplasticizer concrete admixture based on polycarboxylate, which provides high water reduction, early and final high strength, and maintains flowability and consistency retention in concrete.

Fields of Application

• Used in ready-mix concrete production

• Precast and prefabricated concrete production

• Concrete requiring excellent flowability and consistency retention

• Concrete requiring dense and smooth surface finishes

• Concrete with placement challenges due to fine and densely reinforced structures

• Concrete requiring early and high final strength

• High-quality and high-strength concrete

• Injection and ground applications

• Concrete requiring impermeability

• Architectural, engineering, and artistic concrete structures

• Structural elements with complex and detailed formwork designs

• Production of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC)

Features / Advantages

• Reduces segregation and bleeding, increasing abrasion resistance

• Significantly reduces the amount of mixing water

• Provides excellent self-compacting properties to concrete

• Results in significant increases in early and final compressive strength

• Reduces the carbonation rate and improves mechanical properties such as shrinkage and creep

• Allows for long-distance concrete pumping

• Provides a void-free and smooth surface finish

• Ensures normal setting time without any retarding effect

• Reduces curing time and temperature in precast production, leading to energy savings

• Enables high unit weight and strength

• Prevents rapid slump loss

Dosage

• For fluid and self-compacting concrete:
• 0.4 - 2.0 kg per 100 kg of binder (cement – microsilica – fly ash) is recommended. The actual dosage may vary depending on aggregate characteristics, concrete class, water/cement ratio, water quality, and ambient temperature. Therefore, trial mixes in laboratory conditions are recommended.
• During consistency adjustment, the admixture's high water-reducing capacity should be considered, and excessive water should be avoided in the mix.
