Application Details
__________________________________________________________________
Dosage 0.3 0.8% by weight of cement. It is advisable to
carry out trial mixes to establish the exact dosage
rate required.
__________________________________________________________________
Dispensing Chemplast PR 155 is added to the gauging water
prior to its addition to the dry mix.
__________________________________________________________________
Concrete Placing The standard rules of good concreting practice
(production as well as placing) must also be
observed when using Chemplast PR 155
__________________________________________________________________
Curing Fresh concrete must e cured properly, especially at
high temperatures in order to prevent plastic and
drying shrinkage. Use Chemsol Curing products
preferably.
__________________________________________________________________
Compatibility Chemplast PR 155 can be combined with
other admixtures. It is also compatible with sulfate
resistant cement and Silica Fume.
__________________________________________________________________
Cleaning Clean all equipment and tools with water
immediately after use.
__________________________________________________________________
Remarks When accidental overdosing occurs, the set
retarding effect increases During this period
concrete must be kept moist in order to prevent
premature drying out.
