ARMORCAST 200
PLASTICIZING ADMIXTURE
Product Description
ARMORCAST 200 is an innovative multi-purpose super-plasticizer. It is a ready-to-use plasticizer for use in non-slump concrete fabrication processes. Formulated to improve the manufacturing efficiency of non-plastic concrete products, this admixture adds a significant degree of cohesion for block and pipe applications. ARMORCAST 200 admixture improves cement particle wetting and increases strength development as a result
- Reduces permeability in Concrete and increases durability
- Increases compressive and flexural strengths
- Improves compactability of concrete
- Reduces breakage and culls
- Applicable for all Portland and Slag Cements
- Potential cement reduction
- Extends life of molds and machine parts
- Increases overall profitability
- Improves the early strength& cycle time of Cast
- Improved cohesion, minimizes risk of segregation, bleeding and creep
ARMORCAST 200 is typically used for:
- Cast at In-Stitu
- Precast
- Dry-cast concrete pipes
ARMORCAST 200 is formulated to comply with all the requirements of:
- ASTM C- 494, Type A
- EN 943, Part 2, Tables 1 and 2
- Wear protective gloves and eye protection during work
- Avoid contact with eyes and skin
- If skin contact occurs, wash skin thoroughly
- If in eyes, hold eyes open and flood with warm water and seek medical attention immediately
1.Precautions for safe handling:
Avoid aerosol formation. Avoid inhalation of mists/vapours. Avoid skin contact.
No special measures necessary provided product is used correctly.
2.Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities.
Further information on storage conditions: Keep only in the original container in a cool, dry, well ventilated place away from ignition sources, heat or flame. Protect from direct sunlight.
3.Dispose of contents/container to hazardous or special waste collection point.
Reactivity: No hazardous reactions if stored and handled as prescribed/indicated.
Chemical stability: The product is stable if stored and handled as prescribed/indicated.
Possibility of hazardous reactions: The product is stable if stored and handled as prescribed/indicated. Conditions to avoid See MSDS section 7 – Handling and storage.
Incompatible materials Substances to avoid: strong acids, strong bases, strong oxidizing agents, strong reducing agents
Appearance: Dark brown liquid Specific Gravity: 1.175 ± 0.005 at 20° C Form: Liquid
Smell: Pungent
Chloride content: Nil
Additional air-entrainment: Less than 1% Water-reduction: 10–20 % of mixing water Setting Time: No effect at the recommended dosages
Permeability: Reduces concrete porosity, improves waterproofing and durability
Compressive strength: Increased early and ultimate compressive strengths
Cohesion: Improved cohesion reduces risk of segregation
Compatibility: Compatible with all types of Portland cement including Sulfate Resisting Cement (SRC)
Dosage is influenced by cement type, mix design, quality of used materials, ambient temperatures and other specific requirements, so site trials should be carried to determine the optimum dosage.
Dosage: typically 1% – 2% by the weight of total cementitious content. In a situation of overdose, this may lead to delay in setting time but ultimately result in higher strength.
HYDROPLAST-50 should be added with the last third of mixing water or immediately after complete mixing water addition. Do not add directly to the dry mix or cement. For proper administration an automatic dispenser shall be used.
