SUNPOLICRETE NGT (RET)
This is a liquid
superplasticizer, but has additional retardation property.
It is useful for modifying and
improving several properties of fresh or hardened concrete.
The economics of concrete
production is governed primarily by the selection of right materials, although
construction costs do count in totality. The levels of design sophistication
reached to-day, do not allow any scope to reduce material consumption and
costs. Hence further savings can now be effected mostly by improving the
quality and strength of materials used in construction. Durability is a major
issue today which also needs to be addressed. Accordingly concrete of high
strength & durability has been developed by using new materials such as
polymers, various fibres, etc.
Use of the prescribed
quantities of SUNPOLICRETE NGT (RET) considerably improves several properties
of concrete:
In Plastic Concrete
Improves Finishability
Improves Workability
Reduces Water requirements
Reduces Segregation
|
In Hardened Concrete
Increases all strengths
Improve finished appearance
Reduces cracking
Reduces permeability
|
Use
SUNPOLICRETE NGT (RET) is
recommended for use in all concrete produced related to building and civil
engineering construction: prestressed concrete, precast concrete, waterproofing
plaster, free flowing concrete or mortar and pumpable concrete mixes etc.
Instruction for use
SUNPOLICRETE NGT (RET) is water
soluble and is to be added to the gauging water (Water to be mixed in the
concrete / mortar). Add 100 ml to 150 ml per bag (50 kg) of cement or as per
requirements of slump-retainsion and workability. SUNPOLICRETE NGT (RET)
reduces the water/cement ratio considerably while maintaining the workability. Hence
calculate the gauging water, by 10% to 20% volume reduction. It is desirable to
have trial mixes to assess the actual effect of the ingredients under field
conditions.
Packing
20 litre, 5 litre
Shelf life
Twelve months when stored in
original closed container.
