HIGH RANGE WATER REDUCER (SUPERPLASTICIZER)
DESCRIPTION
CONSOL SS-20 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-20 complies with ASTM C494/C494M-19 for type F admixtures
RECOMMENDED FOR
CONSOL SS-20 is especially suitable for concrete mixes with prolonged transportation time and long workability, powerful water reduction and excellent flowability. CONSOL SS-20 is suitable for the production of both precast concrete and readymix concrete.CONSOL SS-20 facilitates extreme water reduction, excellent flowability with the same time optimal cohesion and highest self-compacting behavior. CONSOL SS-20 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-20 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, it is suitable for the production of self-compacting concrete.
- Improved shrinkage and creep behaviour.
- Reduce rate of carbonation of the concrete.
- Improved watertight behaviour.
