BETOPLAST LC

Admixture for concretes and mortars, Group I plasticizer, new generation

THE ADMIXTURE IS APPLIED IN THE PRODUCTION OF HEAVY-WEIGHT AND LIGHT-WEIGHT CONCRETE, MORTARS, IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF CAST-IN-PLACE AND PRECAST-MONOLITHIC CONCRETE AND REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURES AND BUILDINGS, SELF-LEVELING FLOORS, AND IN THE MANUFACTURE OF PRECAST CONCRETE AND REINFORCED CONCRETE PRODUCTS IN PLANT CONDITIONS, BATTERY MOLDS, AS WELL AS AT CONSTRUCTION SITES AND CASTING YARDS.

APPLICATION OF THE ADMIXTURE

• Production of all concrete classes by compressive strength (up to C40/50) from high-slump (flowable) concrete mixes without component segregation or reduction of strength characteristics.
• Reduction of cement consumption by 10-15 % compared to concrete without admixtures.
• Increase in density, frost resistance, water tightness, and other physical and mechanical properties of concrete.
• Increase in initial and final concrete strength.
• Reduction of mixing water by up to 20 % compared to concrete without admixtures.
• Reduction of time required to achieve shipping (stripping) strength.
• Reduction of energy costs for steam curing of products due to the intensification of the binder hydration process.
• Improvement of the concrete surface category.

ADMIXTURE PROPERTIES

• As an admixture that accelerates the hardening of concretes and mortars, it is used in the preparation of all types of concretes and mortars based on Portland cement and its varieties in cases where rapid strength gain is required.
• BETOPLAST LC admixture is used for the production of all types of Portland cement-based concretes: self-compacting concretes, precast reinforced concrete (including highly reinforced structures), prestressed products, monolithic concrete structures, light-weight concrete, and industrial floors.
• BETOPLAST LC admixture does not increase the air content in the freshly mixed concrete, does not alter the color of the concrete, and does not cause efflorescence on the concrete surface.
• The admixture is suitable for use in reinforced and prestressed structures.
• The admixture does not induce corrosion of reinforcement or concrete.
• The admixture contains no chlorides.

USAGE
The use of BETOPLAST LC admixture allows for a reduction in the amount of mixing water by 20-30 % from the initial value.
The effectiveness of the admixture is maximized when introduced together with the mixing water.

ADMIXTURE DOSAGE

1. The recommended dosage of BETOPLAST LC is 0.6-2.0 % by weight of the commercial concentration solution and depends on the concrete mix design, required workability, structural features of the component, and application objectives.
2. The admixture contains no chlorides, is suitable for use in reinforced and prestressed structures, and does not induce reinforcement corrosion.
3. The dosage depends on the concrete mix design, product type, and structural features of the component (Consult with our specialists).
