SHALICON-37RWATER REDUCER & RETARDING SUPER PLASTICIZERDESCRIPTIONShalicon-37R is a dark brown liquid admixture for concrete, based on sulphonated naphthalene polymers.TYPICAL PROPERTIESColour : Dark Brown LiquidSpecific Gravity : 1.20 + 0.020Chloride Content : Nil to BS : 5075 to IS : 456-78Workability : Shalicon-37R can be used to produce collapsed slump concrete without reducing water content.USES
- Ready Mix Concrete
- Pumping Concrete
- Highly slump, Flowable Concrete
- Retention upto 2 hours
STANDARDComplies with ASTMC-494 type 'G' and IS : 9103:1999ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE
- Concrete of similar workability can be produced with 10-15% less water.
- Chloride free: Safe in pre stressed concrete production.
DOSAGESThe actual amount required to achieve a particular result will vary with the type of cement, the size, shape and grading of aggregate and the total mix design. For high strength, water reduced concrete, the dosage range is from 0.5%- 1.5% by weight of cement.INSTRUCTIONS FOR USEWhere the main requirement is to improve strengths, initial trial should be made with normal concrete mix designs. The addition of the admixture will allow the removal of water from the mix whilst maintaining workability. After initial trial, minor modification to the overall mix design may be made to optimize performance. Where the main requirement is to provide high workability concrete, the mix design should be one suitable for use as a pump mix.COMPATIBILITYShalicon-37R can be used with all type of Portland cement, sulphate resisting cements and micro silica.PACKAGINGShalicon-37R is available in bulk or 250 kg nett Wt. Drums.DISPENSINGThe measured quantity of Shalicon-37R should be added along with the gauging, water in the case of batching plants. Correct dosage should be used with about 18-20% of the total water in the last phase after the mix.STORAGE & SHELF LIFEShalicon-37R has a shelf life of one year from the date of manufacture in unopened original packing, protected from extremes of heat and cold, and stored under shade.SAFETY PRECAUTIONSShalicon-37R is not a fire or health hazard, spillage should be washed down immediately with cold water. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
