HIGH RANGE WATER REDUCER (SUPERPLASTICIZER)
DESCRIPTION
CONSOL SS-1 is an innovative polycarboxylic ether (PCE) based superplasticizer ideally suited for concrete and mortar. It is particularly developed for the production of high flow concrete with exceptional flow retention properties. CONSOL SS-1 complies with ASTM C494/C494M-19 for type F admixtures.
RECOMMENDED FOR
CONSOL SS-1 is especially suitable for concrete mixes with prolonged transportation time and long workability, powerful water reduction and excellent flowability. CONSOL SS-1 is suitable for the production of both precast concrete and ready-mix concrete. CONSOL SS-1 facilitates extreme water reduction, excellent flowability with the same time optimal cohesion and highest self-compacting behavior. CONSOL SS-1 is mainly used for the following applications:
- Concrete with a very high water reduction (up to 30%)
- High performance concrete
- Concrete in summer and with a prolonged transportation and workability time
- Watertight concrete
- Precast concrete
- Ready mix concrete
- Self compacting concrete
- High strength concrete
- Mass concrete
- Watertight concrete (integral waterproofing: Cement content > 350 kg/m³ and W/C <0.45)
BENEFITS
CONSOL SS-1 as a powerful superplasticizer acts by different mechanisms. Through surface adsorption and sterical effects separating the binder particles the following properties are achieved
- Extremely powerful water-reduction, resulting in high density, high strength and reduced permeability.
- Excellent plasticising effect, resulting in improved flowability, placing and compacting behaviour. Therefore suitable for the production of self-compacting concrete.
- Improved shrinkage and creep behavior.
- Reduce rate of carbonation of the concrete.
- Improved watertight behavior.
