RB-P1 WATER REDUCING PLASTICISER

Description :

RB-P1 is a powerful water reducing and plasticizer based on lignosulfonate which disperses the cement particles within a concrete mix. It can be used to improve workability, without the addition of extra water, or to allow reductions in the free water content of the concrete mixture.

Usage :

To increase / extend workability.
To increase compressive strength.
To effect cement economies.
For hot weather concreting.
To reduce water content.
In pre-stressed concrete.
In areas of congested reinforcement where high workability is of benefit.
In pre-cast concrete manufacture.
In concrete brick and block manufacture.
Wherever reduced water content would be of benefit to reduce permeability.
In hot weather

Features and benefits :

Significantly improves the workability therefore easing placing.
Improves the cohesive properties of the concrete helping to reduce segregation and bleeding.
Of particular benefit in hot climatic conditions when used to extend workability.
Enables economies in mix designs to be achieved thereby saving cement.

How to use :

RB-P1 should be added to the concrete mix during the mixing cycle at the same time as the water and the aggregates. The maximum effect is achieved when the RB-P1 is added after the addition of 50 to 70 % of the water. Never add RB-P1 to the dry cement. Keep mixing at high rate for 60 seconds in order to complete mixing.
