Costamix 500

Description

COSTAMIX 500 is as an exclusive blend of polycarboxylic ether-based polymers, meticulously formulated as a slump-retaining and water-reducing super plasticizer. Its design is tailor-made for high-performance concrete, aiming to enhance workability, durability, and reduce permeability effectively.

Features

• Minimizes the need for on-site adjustment of slump and workability.
• Reduces long-term shrinkage and creep while also minimizing the risks of segregation and bleeding.
• Enhances workability, air entrainment, and pumping properties of the concrete.
• Chloride-free and suitable for pre-stressing applications
• Significantly improves compressive and flexural strength at both early and final stages of concrete development.
• Offers protection to reinforcement steel against harmful water-borne attacks.
• Reduces or eliminates the high energy requirements of external heat for accelerated curing.
• Non-corrosive to steel bars
• Provides excellent slump retention even in hot climates.

Uses

• Costamix 500 is employed in the production of high-performance precast and pre-stressed concrete by significantly reducing the water content.
• It is utilized to attain high strength while improving workability and reducing the water-to-cement ratio.
• Costamix 500 finds application in all concrete works where excellent workability is a necessity.
• It is employed in the production of concrete with highly workable properties, commonly referred to as high slump concrete.
• It is particularly beneficial for long-distance transportation of concrete and for constructing bridges and viaducts.
• Also used for hot weather concreting to counter the challenges posed by high temperatures
