BETOPLAST NL

Admixture for concrete based on polymer compositions

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 high-strength concrete classes (up to C40/50 and above) from high-slump (flowable) concrete mixes at low water-cement ratios.
• Increasing the mix workability from S1 to S5 and above without loss of strength.
• Increasing initial and final concrete strength, as well as improving density, frost resistance, water tightness, and other physical and mechanical properties of concrete.
• Reduction of cement consumption by 20 % or more.
• Improvement of the properties of concrete mixes delivered by concrete pumps (prevents mix segregation).
• Improvement of the concrete surface category.
• Reduction of energy consumption (during vibration and steam curing) and labor costs during the placement and compaction of the concrete mix.
• Increased workability retention of the concrete mix compared to conventional plasticizers.

ADMIXTURE PROPERTIES

• BETOPLAST NL admixture is used for the production of all types of Portland cement-based concretes: monolithic concrete structures, self-compacting concretes, precast reinforced concrete (including highly reinforced structures), prestressed products, light-weight concrete, and industrial floors.
• BETOPLAST NL 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 contains no chlorides and is suitable for use in reinforced and prestressed structures.
• The admixture does not induce corrosion of reinforcement or concrete.

USAGE
The use of BETOPLAST NL 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 NL is 1.0-2.5 % by weight of the commercial concentration solution, which is equivalent to the dosages of naphthalene sulfonate-based admixtures (C-3).
2. The dosage depends on the concrete mix design, required workability, structural features of the component, and application objectives.
3. The admixture contains no chlorides, is suitable for use in reinforced and prestressed structures, and does not induce reinforcement corrosion.
4. The dosage depends on the concrete mix design, product type, and structural features of the component (Consult with our specialists).
