KUTRICrete SP101 / Polycarboxylate-based superplasticizer for precast elements
For more information see the documents:
Description and scope
KUTRICrete SP101 is the latest generation superplasticizer based on PCE polymers. The specially designed molecular structure of this product, based on years of experience and the latest research results, enables a wide field of application in modern concrete production.
The application of this superplasticizer allows for high water reductions and accelerates cement hydration. Due to the rapid adhesion of the molecules to the cement particles, combined with the effective scattering effect, the increased cement grain surface is exposed to the reaction with water.
As a result of this effect, it is possible to achieve significantly earlier development of hydration heat, rapid development of hydration products and thus increased early strength, which is especially suitable in case for early removal of the formwork.
KUTRICrete SP101 is suitable for the production of liquid consistency reoplastic concrete, without segregation, with low water-cement factor and high initial and final strength.
It is also well suited for the production of easy compacting concrete (ECC) because it can be used without the use of vibrators with a significant reduction of installation time by applying a suitable concrete mix.
KUTRICrete SP101 can be used in combination with other chemical and mineral additives to achieve specific properties as required by the project. Particularly good results in combination with fly ash. For combination with other chemical and mineral additives, please consult our technical service.
The use of KUTRICrete SP101 is recommended at ambient temperatures above 5 °C.
Dosage
Under normal conditions, an amount of 0.2 – 1.2 kg per 100 kg of binder is recommended.
In special cases, other quantities may be recommended according to the specific conditions at the installation site. In this case, please consult our technical service.
Application
KUTRICrete SP101 is a liquid additive intended to be added to concrete during the mixing process of ingredients. Best results are obtained when the additive is added after all other components are already in the mixer and after at least 70% of the total amount of water has been added. The amount of water required in the mixture is adjusted to the desired consistency or workability.
Packing and storage
KUTRICrete SP101 is available in 50 kg bins, 200 kg barrels, 1100 kg IBC containers.
KUTRICrete SP101 must be stored in a place where the temperature is not lower than 5 °C. In the event of product freezing, increase the product temperature to 30 °C and mix again.
