MF Admix

Superplasticiser, High Range Water Reducing And. Accelerating Admixture For High Early Strengths Test Mark: Z — 3.28 — 1044; Astm C 494 Type A & F.

INTRODUCTION

MF is a chloride free, superplasticising admixture based on Napthalene Sulphonate polymers.

APPLICATIONS

MF is specially developed for high workable and flowable concrete giving high early strengths which gives the following outstanding advantages.
(a) For Prefabricated Concrete

Reduction of the W/C factor
Resulting : less gauging water
Considerable higher early strength
Increased final strength
Improved water proofness
Shorter formwork releasing therefore the shutters can be used more often

(b) For Structural Concrete

Excellent flowability
Considerably reduced vibration time
Enables efficient concrete placement
Makes concrete fully economical

USES

Concrete Panels
Sandwich panels
Prestressed / Prefab concrete elements
Projects with shortime limits i.e. early stresses, fast formwork release
Where ever high flowable concrete is required

BENEFITS

MF can be used to produce flowing concrete at site using ready mix trucks. MF can be added directly into concrete via the feed hopper of the truck a few minutes before placing.

CHARACTERISTICS

MF makes for a strong plasticising and dispersing effect on the cement and aggregate particles even at low dosage rates. The action of the cement is thus more effective and the wetting of aggregates is improved which makes the concrete significantly more homogenous. The tendency of segregation and bleeding is strongly reduced.

DOSAGE AND USE

The dosage of MF is between 250cc - 500 cc per 50 Kg. of cement. In special cases and after consulting our Field Engineers the dosage may be increased upto 750 cc per 50 Kg. of cement where exceptional high strength is required. Best results are obtained when added to the mix as the last component and when atleast mixed for additional 45 Seconds.
