DESCRIPTION
CONSOL SS-501 CA 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-501 CA complies with ASTM C494/C494M-19 for type F admixtures.
RECOMMENDED FOR
CONSOL SS-501 CA is especially suitable for concrete mixes with prolonged transportation time and long workability, powerful water reduction and excellent flowability.
CONSOL SS-501 CA is suitable for the production of both precast concrete and ready mix concrete.
CONSOL SS-501 CA facilitates extreme water reduction, excellent flowability with the same time optimal cohesion and highest self-compacting behavior.
CONSOL SS-501 CA 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
BENEFITS
CONSOL SS-501 CA 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 behaviour.
- Reduce rate of carbonation of the concrete.
- Improved watertight behaviour.
