Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer of High Water Reduction
PC-F (primary liquid)
Description
PC-F is a ready-to-use liquid superplasticizer that extremely improves the superb water-reducing performance when comparing with superplasticizers based on existing polycarboxylic systems.
PC-F Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer for high water reducing has been primarily developed for applications in the ready mixed and precast concrete industries where the highest durability and performance is required.
Standards Compliance
PC-F Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer for high water reducing complies with the requirements of the following standards: ASTM C 494, Type E & F. BS EN 934-2.

Usage
1) PC-F for high water reducing is suitable for long-distance transported pumping concrete, high fluidity concrete, self-leveling concrete, plain concrete, free vibration self-compacting concrete, and high strength concrete, etc.
2) PC-F for high water reducing can be widely used in hydraulic project, electric power, port, railway, bridge, road, and various projects.
Advantages
1) PC-F water reduction is up to 35% and its concrete slump is not lost in one hour.
2) PC-F has good storage stability, no precipitation or lamination at low temperature.
3) PC-F could be blended into 10% solution with water, which can be directly used as pumping aid agent.
4) Production clean degree is high: Due to formaldehyde, industrial naphthalene, acetone or other flammable, and toxic chemicals being not used in production process, it meets cleaning production standard. This new production technology is a fully automated process without heat production.
5) Safety: This product is non-toxic, non-radioactive or non-flammable. There is no harmful material for steel and aggregate. There is no formaldehyde or other harmful aromatic residues. It meets the requirements of indoor and outdoor environment.
Dosage
■ The optimum dosage of PC-F to meet specific requirements should always be determined by trials using the materials and conditions that will be experienced in use.
Dosage range: C × 0.3% —- 1.0%
Recommended dosage: C × 0.5% (calculated according to PC-F). Before using or when replacing cement, determine the optimal dosage through concrete testing.
