Egytreat
102 Concentrate
Super
Plasticiser for Concrete
& Mortars
General
Specifications:
Egytreat 102 Concentrate is a brown powder processed of a number of
dry organic & inorganic compounds which are highly soluble in
potable
water. The resulting brown solution acts as a super plasticiser, water
reducer
and flowing concrete admixture. The addition of this admixture results
in
better workability, of mortars and concrete and enhances the quality of
the
product regarding the development of higher strength, lower porosity
& less
water absorption.
Fields
of applications:
The solution of Egytreat 102 is suitable as an admixture to mortars and
concrete formed from all types of Portland cements which are used in
underwater
constructions, bridges, tanks … etc, and which are subjected to
different
environmental conditions.
Advantages:
The use of this admixture could
result in the following advantages:
• Significant
reduction in water/cement ratio without significant change in
the setting time. However, possible retarding effect could result from
the
excessive use of this admixture.
• Develop
significant self leveling in mortars and concrete.
• Increase
in the early strength of concrete & mortars.
• Decrease
in porosity, water absorption and permeability; hence better
resistance to water born chemicals and harmful salts.
• Reduce
the bleeding of concrete.
• Reduce
shrinkage and drying cracks
• Relative
increase in density, compressive strength and resistance to
environmental conditions.
Utilization:
• Preparation
of the solution: This is achieved by the dissolution of the
dry powder in the appropriate amount of water. Normally, the rate is
one pack
(3 kgs.) in 20 lts of water or one pack (7.5 kgs) in 50 lts of water.
• Egytreat
102 solution is added during the mixing process with water or
it could be added to the water prior mixing.
Rate
of Use:
ranges
between 0.3 to 0.6 lts of Egytreat 102 solution to each cement bag. The
rate
could be varied according to desired properties after performing
necessary
tests.
Precautions:
Egytreat 102 powder and solution
are nontoxic and inflammable.
Storage:
18 months in dry and suitable
storage conditions.
