TEC MIX 460
ACCELARATOR
KEY BENEFITS AND FEATURES
- Easily disperses in concrete and masonry mixes and accelerates the setting time.
- Typically suited for cold weather concreting.
- Compatible with all types of Portland cements.
- Does not contain chlorides, safe for use in pre-stressed and reinforced concrete.
- Significantly increases early strength and ultimate strength.
- Plasticizing effect improves workability in concrete and mortars.
- Significantly reduces segregation and bleeding.
- Cured mortar reflects higher flexibility resulting in the surface showing higher and longer life.
- Increased Compressive and tensile strengths when compared to conventional mix.
- Gentle on reinforcements does not cause corrosion of reinforcements.
- Being a liquid dispersion system envelops each particle to produce a cohesive and consistent mix.
USAGE
- Ideal for use in pre-cast concrete and reinforced cement concrete.
- Ideal admixture for producing cohesive screeds for flooring and other applications.
- When admixed with brickwork and block-work mortars, vastly improves the quality of the mortars.
- Extremely useful admixture for underwater concreting.
- Can be used effectively in concrete repair jobs.
- Ideal for use in cold weather concrete and mortar applications.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
The contents in the pack should be stirred well before use. The generally recommended dosage of TecR Mix 460 is 0.8% to 1.5% by weight of cement. The required quantity of TecR Mix 460 should be added to the gauging water and stirred to obtain uniform consistency before being added to the concrete or masonry mixes. Excess water should be avoided. Cement sand mixes should be thoroughly dry mixed before adding the gauging water mixed with TecR Mix 460. Curing should commence at initial set for optimum results. Curing membrane- TecR Cure WB or conventional curing methods like water spraying or wet Hessian may be adapted.
Optimum mix dosage for specific site conditions may be arrived at based on site/ laboratory tests and in consultation with Techny Tech Team.
COMPATIBILITY
Compatible with all types of Portland Cements. Should not be used with High Alumina Cement or other Rapid Setting Cements.
