EUNICEM 180-K is a liquid concrete superplasticizer that has been developed to allow concrete to attain particularly high performance in both the plastic and hardened states. It is particularly useful for imparting extreme workability to concrete mixes so that large or diicult pours can be made. Alternatively, EUNICEM 180-K can be utilized to eect large water reductions to achieve high early and subsequent strength. EUNICEM 180-K is an extremely powerful deflocculating agent and performs by dispersing cement into its primary particles dramatically increasing flow characteristics of the cement paste. EUNICEM 180-K gives excellent slump retention, especially in hot weather. EUNICEM 180-K conforms to the requirements of ASTM C494 Type A and F, BS 5075 Part 3. Main application areas are: • High quality concrete for durable structures. • Reinforced and prestressed precast elements. • Bridge decks and structural elements. • Precast or in-situ structures.
EUNICEM 180-K is supplied ready for use, and should be added to concrete mixes either during the mixing cycle or at the same time as the water, or alternatively it should be added in its supplied form to a normal concrete mix a few minutes before the pour is made. In the latter case a mixing cycle of at least two minutes should be provided to ensure complete dispersion.
• High compressive strength concrete especially at early ages
• Lowers w/c ratio
• Good surface finish, providing highly aesthetic concrete appearance
• Plastic concrete exhibits high cohesion, fluidity and flow ability
• Savings in energy consumption when steam curing is employed
• Classified as cold admixture and very good for using in hot weather concrete application
