Description
MC-Admix 32 is a concrete admixture used to obtain more uniform-quality concrete, reduce the water content of concrete for a given consistency, and improve economy for a given strength.
Where to use
Recommended for concrete where normal setting characteristics are required or desired. Improves plain, reinforced, precast, prestressed, lightweight and standard-weight concrete. When used with another admixture, each admixture must be dispensed separately into the mix.
Standards / source references
ASTM C-494 Type A · BS 5075 Part 1
Advantages
• Superior finishing characteristics for flatwork and cast surfaces. • Improved workability. • Reduced segregation. • Reduced water requirement for a given workability. • Superior finished appearance. • Increased compressive, flexural and bond strength of concrete to steel. • Reduced permeability (integral waterproofer).
Dosage / method
MC-Admix 32 may be added directly to the mixing water before it enters the mixer, or separately to freshly mixed concrete. The approved publication dosage is 400 ± 100 cm³ per 100 kg of cement. Determine the optimum dosage by trials using the same materials intended for use.
Cleaning
Clean tools and equipment with water.
Compatibility
Compatible with all types of Portland cement. Compatible with other MC-Admix products; each admixture must be added separately.
Storage / shelf life
18 months under suitable storage conditions in closed drums or tanks.
Safety
Non-toxic and nonflammable according to the approved source. Wash skin contamination with water. Standards ASTM C-494 Type A · BS 5075 Part 1
Packaging
210 L drums and large-capacity tanks.
