COSTAMIX 500 is a unique combination of polycarboxylic ether-based polymers slump retaining and water reducing super plasticizer specifically engineered for high-performance concrete to achieve improve workability, durability and also reduces permeability.
Uses
- Costamix 500 is used in the production of high-performance precast and pre-stressed concrete by reducing a significant amount of water.
- Used to achieve high strength with improved workability and reduced w/c ratio.
- Long-distance transportation of concrete. In the production of bridges and viaducts
- Costamix 500 is used in all concrete works where good workability is required.
- Used in production of concrete with extremely workable characteristics referred to as high slump
- Hot weather concreting.
Features
- Minimizes the need for on-site adjustment of slump and workability.
- Reduces long-term shrinkage and creep while also minimizing the risks of segregation and bleeding.
- Chloride-free and suitable for pre-stressing applications.
- Enhances workability, air entrainment, and pumping properties of the concrete.
- Significantly improves compressive and flexural strength at both early and final stages of concrete development.
- Offers protection to reinforcement steel against harmful water-borne attacks.
- Reduces or eliminates the high energy requirements of external heat for accelerated curing.
- Non-corrosive to steel bars
- Provides excellent slump retention even in hot climates.
