Set Retarding High Range Water Reducing Admixture

RHW™ is a cutting-edge Set Retarding High Range Water Reducing Admixture for concrete. It belongs to the third generation of water reducers and is based on polycarboxylate, boasting a simple yet effective mechanism of action. Charging (ionizing) cement particles creates a repulsive force among them, facilitating the flow of concrete. This innovative concrete admixture serves as a superplasticizer, extreme water reducer, and concrete retarder. Its mechanism relies on optimizing the distribution of cement particles within the concrete mix. When incorporated into the concrete composition, RHW™ reduces the water-to-cement ratio, increasing compressive strength and shorter setting time. The significant reduction in water content also allows for using lower-grade cement, effectively lowering both production and construction costs for concrete.


PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Set Retarding High Range Water Reducing Admixture (RHW™) is an advanced solution to optimize concrete performance. This admixture is formulated with cutting-edge technology and combines the benefits of set retardation, high-range water reduction, and improved workability.
RHW™ is based on a polycarboxylate polymer, ensuring excellent compatibility with various cementitious systems. Its unique mechanism of action involves dispersing cement particles within the concrete, resulting in enhanced flowability and ease of placement.
By effectively reducing the water-cement ratio, our admixture significantly improves concrete’s compressive strength and durability. It also offers extended setting time, allowing for more flexible construction schedules and reducing the risk of premature hardening.
The RHW™ is specifically designed to meet the requirements of ASTM C494, ensuring consistent performance and reliability. Furthermore, it is free from chloride and other corrosive substances, safeguarding the integrity of steel reinforcement.
Our Set Retarding High Range Water Reducing Admixture is a trusted choice for a wide range of applications, including high-performance concrete, precast elements, ready-mix concrete, and more. Its superior performance characteristics enable efficient construction practices, reduce costs, and deliver exceptional quality and longevity concrete structures.

Application Instructions

Additive Consumption Amount:

The recommended dosage range for the Set Retarding High Range Water Reducing Admixture is 130 to 780 ml per 100 kg of cement. Adjust the dosage within this range based on specific project requirements and desired concrete properties.

Additive Mixing:

To achieve optimal results, adding the admixture after adding approximately 60% of the total concrete mixing water is recommended. This allows for proper dispersion and integration of the admixture within the concrete mix.

Guide to Quality Control (QC)
  • Admixture Storage: Store the admixture correctly and check for expiration dates.
  • Admixture Identification: Clearly label containers for proper identification.
  • Admixture Dosage Measurement: Accurately measure and proportion the admixture.
  • Batch Testing: Test batches for the slump, setting time, and strength.
  • Compatibility Testing: Ensure the admixture is compatible with other materials in the mix.
  • Quality Control Records: Keep detailed records of dosage, test results, and adjustments.
  • Admixture Performance Evaluation: Monitor and evaluate concrete performance with the admixture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is retarding additive used in concrete?

By slowing down the process of concrete curing in hot air, it uses concrete curing to bring concrete to its highest efficiency and properties. It also prevents the creation of cracks in concrete, which is caused by the process of quick setting of concrete in hot air.

What is the mechanism of super lubricants or extreme water reducers?

Super plasticizers are the third generation and the latest generation of plasticizers and concrete water reducing materials, all of which are based on polycarboxylate and have a simple mechanism that creates a repulsive force by charging (ionizing) cement particles. It gets between the cement particles, which is a factor in the flow of concrete.

What is the chemical basis of super plasticizers?

All are based on polycarboxylate.

Are chloride ions used in super plasticizers, extreme water reducers and anti-seizing agents?

No, it is not used because chloride ion damages the armatures.

What is the coloring of super plasticizers and antiperspirants?

Light brown.
