REOTOL-SPL is a wide-range superplasticizer (ASTM C-494: Type A and F), offering the following advantages:
- When added during preparation of concrete, reduces the water required and the resulting water/cement ratio, thus significantly increasing both initial and final strength.
- When added into the ready-mixed concrete, increases slump from 1-4 cm to 18-22 cm, without additional water.
- Contributes to better hydration of cement.
- Facilitates compaction of concrete, reduces segregation and sinificantly improves workability and pumpability.
- Significantly reduces setting shrinkage, thus preventing cracks.
- Improves water impermeability.
- Is free of chlorides and other corrosive constituents.
- Does not have a retarding effect.
- Is compatible with all kinds of Portland cement.
Certified with the CE marking as high-range water reducing – concrete superplasticizing admixture, according to EN 934-2: T3.1 and T3.2, certificate number: 0906-CPR-02412007-01. REOTOL-SPL is necessary forpreparing high-strength concrete, exposed concrete, pumpable concrete, screeds for underfloor heating systems etc.
REOTOL-SPL may be added:
- Into the mixing water during the preparation of concrete.
- Into 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.
