Megaplast PC-08

Megaplast PC08 is a highly effective superplasticizer based on polycarboxylate esters with a specific composition. Its primary effects on concrete are plasticization and water reduction, with a possible additional effect of retarding the setting of concrete mixes.

Applications

Megaplast PC08 is used to produce high-quality ready-mix concrete with high plasticity, long pot life, and high initial and final strength. The main applications of Megaplast PC08 include:

• Production of ready-mixed concrete
• Manufacturing of concrete and reinforced concrete products
• Manufacturing of concrete for massive structures
• Using a concrete pump for pumping concrete
• Using for swimming pools, reservoirs, and hydraulic structures.

Technical Capabilities and Benefits

Using Megaplast PC08 allows you to:

• Increase the workability of concrete mixes from P1 to P5 without reducing concrete strength
• Increase the workability of concrete mixes
• Increase the initial and final strength of concrete
• Reduce cement binder consumption by 15%-25%
• Reduce the amount of mixing water by more than 20%
• Increase the frost resistance and water resistance of concrete
• Achieve high technological properties of concrete mixes in terms of workability, homogeneity, and non-segregation
• Reduce the duration and/or intensity of vibration, or eliminate it completely
• Achieve significant economic benefits from using the additive and improve competitive advantages

The additive "Megaplast PC08" can be used with all types of cement.

Recommendations for use

Megaplast PC08 is a ready-to-use additive recommended for use at a rate of 0.6-1.2% of the liquid additive by weight of the cement. It is preferable to add the additive to the concrete mix along with one-third of the water during concrete mixing. It is also advisable to ensure sufficient mixing time after adding the additive.

The optimal dosage is determined empirically.
