Set Accelerating Mid Range Water Reducing Admixture

The Accelerating Mid-Range Water Reducing Admixture (AMW™ code) is a super-plasticizer and quick-setting additive used in concrete. It is based on polynaphthalene sulfonate and serves as a concrete additive. By dispersing cement particles within the concrete, the AMW™ concrete admixture enhances its fluidity. Simultaneously, it reduces the water-to-cement ratio, increasing the concrete’s compressive strength. This admixture also accelerates the setting time of the concrete, allowing for the attainment of initial and final strength in a shorter duration. Its usage significantly contributes to project time management during the concrete pouring phase, leading to cost savings throughout the project. Consequently, this popular additive has gained substantial recognition among professionals in the field.


PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Accelerating Mid-Range Water Reducing Admixture (AMW™ code) is a highly effective concrete additive with super-plasticizing, super-water-reducing, and quick-setting properties. It operates by effectively dispersing cement particles throughout the concrete mix. Formulated using polynaphthalene sulfonate, this additive is compatible with all types of cement and meets the requirements of the ASTM C494 standard.
AMW™ concrete admixture enhances the quality and strength of concrete by reducing the water-to-cement ratio. It significantly improves the fluidity and workability of the mix, allowing for easier handling and placement. Accelerating the setting time of concrete, enables the faster achievement of initial and final strength.
This versatile additive is suitable for a wide range of concrete applications where the acceleration of the setting time is desired. Whether it’s an ideal solution for construction projects with tight schedules or applications requiring rapid strength development, AMW™ is an ideal solution. It ensures superior performance and meets the stringent requirements of various concrete projects.

Application Instructions

Additive Consumption Amount:

The recommended dosage of AMW™ code is typically between 500 to 1700 ml per 100 kg of cement. Ensure that the amount used falls within this range for optimal performance.

Test for Performance Confirmation:

If there is a need to use doses outside the permitted range, conduct an initial test to confirm the performance of the concrete mix with the adjusted dosage. Ensure the desired concrete properties are achieved before proceeding with the entire application.

Mixing Process:

When preparing the concrete mix, follow these steps:

  • Empty the aggregates into the mixer.
  • Pour approximately 60% of the required mixing water.
  • Add the AMW™ code admixture to the mixture.
  • Proceed with the remaining water and continue mixing until the desired consistency is achieved.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a plasticizer additive used?

The use of plasticizer additives will reduce water consumption between 15 and 30 percent. This additive is also called super water reducer, which improves the mechanical properties and increases the compressive strength of concrete.

What color is super- plasticizer, super-water-reducing and quick-setting?

It is light brown.

Do plasticizer, water reducers, and concrete quickness have feedback on the compressive strain of concrete?

Yes, these types of plasticizers increase the compressive strength of concrete.

How is plasticizer and water reducer added to concrete?

These types of water reducers, which are known by their own brand in Afzir Company, are added to the mixer when mixing concrete, usually 200 to 650 ml of this plasticizer and reducer are used per 100 kg of cement.

What chemical base do these super plasticizer s have?

Polynaphthalene sulfonates, which are a type of polymer.

Is it used in the super plasticizer, super water reducer and chloride ion fast trap?

No, it was not used due to the damage caused by chloride ion to steel.
