BEVETOL-SPL is a wide range super-plasticizer (ASTM C-494: Type A, D and G), offering the following advantages:
- When added during preparation of concrete, it reduces the water required and the resulting water/cement ratio, thus significantly increasing both initial and final strength.
- When added to the ready-mixed concrete, it increases slump from 1-4 cm to 18-22 cm, without adding any extra water.
- Contributes to better hydration of cement.
- Facilitates compaction of concrete, reduces segregation and significantly improves workability and pumpability.
- Significantly reduces setting shrinkage (crack prevention).
- Improves water impremeability.
- Does not have air entraining action.
- Free of chlorides and other corrosive constituents.
- Compatible with all kinds of Portland cement.
Certified according to EN 934-2: T11.1 and T11.2 and classified as a concrete superplasticizer – set retarder. Certificate No.: 0906-CPR-02412007/01. CE marked.
BEVETOL-SPL is necessary for preparing high-strength concrete, exposed concrete, pumpable concrete, screeds for underfloor heating systems, etc.
BEVETOL-SPL may be added:
- to the mixing water during the preparation of concrete.
- to the ready-mixed concrete just before use. In this case, the concrete mixer truck drum should rotate for an additional 4-5 minutes to achieve uniform dispersion into the concrete mass.
