ART-M233
Slump Retention Admixture
Description
ART-M233 is a slump retention type polycarboxylate superplasticizer which significantly extends the workable time of the concrete and is characterized by a gentle and gradual release process. It can work in extreme high-temperature weather to some extent. It starts with no dispersing ability and as mixing time extends it will function for more than 5 hours. With good bubble adjustment capability, it greatly enhances the mechanical and durability of concrete.
Main Characteristics
Specifically designed for summer and tropical climates (above 40°C)
Compatible with other dispersants, retarders, air entrainers, early strength agents, and other additives to achieve different effects
Suitable for Portland cement and Sulfoaluminate cement
Excellent slow-release ability with low sensitivity
Significant reduction in yield stress of mortar mixtures
Good bubble adjustment ability
Increased cohesion and water retention of mixtures
Substantial reduction in shrinkage of mortar
Improved durability of hardened mixtures
Applications
Ready-mixed concrete for tropical environments.
Concrete mixtures with ultra-long operation time requirements.
Commercial concrete, pumped concrete.
Bridge, highway, and railway concrete.
