PL.03 Polydos TS 61

High-Performance Hyperplasticizer 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

Polydos® TS 61 is a high-performance, next-generation superplasticizer concrete admixture based on polycarboxylate, specially developed for the production of concrete that requires high early strength development, high water reduction, and excellent workability in the ready-mixed and precast concrete industries.

Areas of Use

• Used in the production of ready-mixed concrete

• For the production of very high-performance concrete

• In concrete requiring high early strength

• In concrete needing excellent fluidity and slump retention

• In densely reinforced concrete elements where placement is difficult

• In structural strengthening projects

• In prestressed concrete production

• In mass concrete castings

• In injection and ground applications

• For the production of impermeable concrete

• In precast and prefabricated concrete production

• In the production of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC)

Benefits / Advantages

• Provides significant improvement in both early and final concrete strength

• Significantly reduces mixing water content

• Ensures long-term slump retention

• Imparts self-compacting properties to concrete

• Enables the achievement of void-free and smooth concrete surfaces

• Improves concrete impermeability due to low water/cement ratio

• Saves energy by reducing curing time and temperature in precast production

• Increases resistance of concrete to freeze-thaw cycles and heat

• Improves mechanical properties such as shrinkage and creep

• Provides easier placement, faster strength gain, labor savings, and earlier formwork removal or turnover

• Facilitates concrete pumping

Dosage

For flowable and self-compacting concretes, it is recommended to use 0.6 - 2.0 kg per 100 kg of binder (cement - microsilica - fly ash).
The admixture dosage may vary depending on aggregate properties, concrete class, water/cement ratio, water quality, and ambient temperature. Therefore, it is advised to determine the dosage through preliminary trial mixes in the laboratory.
During consistency adjustment, the high water-reducing capacity of the admixture should be taken into account, and the addition of excessive water should be avoided.
