Costamix 600

Description

COSTAMIX 600 is an innovative 4th generation superplasticizer, featuring a distinctive blend of polycarboxylic ether-based polymers. It is specifically designed to serve as a slump-retaining and water- reducing admixture, tailored for high-performance concrete. By utilizing this advanced plasticizer, concrete can achieve enhanced workability, increased durability, and reduced permeability. Furthermore, this cutting-edge superplasticizer empowers improved initial and final strength in the concrete.

Features

• Minimizes the need for on-site adjustments to the slump and workability of the concrete.
• Decreases long-term shrinkage and creep, while also reducing the risks of segregation and bleeding.
• Enhances workability and pumping characteristics of the concrete.
• Suitable for pre-stressing applications.
• Increases both early and final compressive and flexural strength of the concrete.
• Protects reinforcement steel from harmful water- related deterioration.
• Reduces or eliminates the high energy demands of external heat for accelerated curing.
• Provides excellent slump retention in hot climates.
• Enables approximately 20 – 40% water reduction compared with Reference mix and based on mix design adopted.

Uses

• Costamix 600 is used in the production of high performance precast and pre-stressed concrete by reducing significant amount of water.
• Used to achieve high strength with improved workability and reduced w/cratio.
• Long distance transport of concrete.
• Costamix 600 is used in all concrete works where good workability and increased waterproofing properties are required such as sea walls, swimming pools, tunnels, bridges etc.
• Used in production of concrete with extremely workable characteristics referred to as high slump.
• Hot weather concreting.
