FLUID S

Superlubricating additive for concrete, mortar and grout mixing

Code: ADX.0061

Components: 1

Appearance: Liquid

Superlubricating additive, defoamer, in aqueous solution, for concrete, mortars and grouts, either with cement or lime. Particularly suitable for concretes added with silica-fume, for the production of concretes with very high intrinsic watertightness.

Characteristics

FLUID S, added to a correct mix of hydraulic binders, selected aggregates, MICROSIL 90 (thickened silica fume), and auxiliary fibres READYMESH PM-180 (multifilament polypropylene fibres) improves mechanical strength, watertightness, and overall hardness of the product.

Reference standards for the product: UNI 8145 - ASTM C 494 B,D,G

Consumption

Add 0,7 to 2,0 kg of FLUID S for each quintal of hydraulic binder present in the mixture.

Use fields

Production of concretes, mortars, shotcrete, grout (cement- or lime-based), high workability (consistency class), reduced water/cement ratio, exempt from bleeding and segregation. Specific for manufacturing concretes with very high intrinsic watertightness (waterproof concretes).

Use method

FLUID S must be added to the anhydrous components of the conglomerate, together with the mixing water; the dosage of normal use is in the range 1-2% by weight, relative to the weight of the binders. After the addition of the product, provide for adequate mixing in order to obtain a homogeneous mixture free of lumps. FLUID S effectively performs its superlubricating action in different mixing conditions: concrete mixer, truck mixers, vertical axis mixers etc. with normal means of transport: truck mixers, truck mixer pumps, stationary pumps, etc. Any overages must be preliminarily verified with test mixes.

FLUID S is considered a neutral additive, i.e. it does not involve changes in normal times for gripping and hardening the conglomerate where it is inserted.

Application methods

- To be added to other components

Tool cleaning

- Water

Permitted supports

- Cement-based or lime-based mortars

- Concrete

Warnings, precautions and Ecology

FLUID S significantly reduces the mixing water. Check the gauge of the mixer truck during the concrete loading phase. Excess water can affect the consistency and performance of the concrete.
