COSTAMIX 600DG
Fourth Generation (PCE) High-Performance Concrete Pumping Superplasticizer
COSTARMIX 600DG is an exceptional and Advancedsuperplasticizer, comprising a unique blend of polycarboxylic ether-based polymers.It is meticulously formulated for high-performance concrete, aiming to enhance workability, durability, and reduce permeability. This cutting-edge plasticizer empowers the concrete with improved initial and final strength. The permeability-reducing properties of COSTARMIX 600DG are noteworthy. Minimizing the permeability of concrete is vital as it helps to prevent the ingress of harmful substances and moisture, which can otherwise lead to the deterioration of the concrete and the embedded reinforcement.
Advantages and Features
- Reduces the need for job site adjustment of slump and workability.
- Reduced dimensions of long-term shrinkage and creep. Also minimizes risk of segregation
and bleeding - Improved workability and pumping properties.
- Suitable for pre-stressing.
- Â Increased compressive and flexural strength of the concrete both at early and final stage.
- Protection of reinforcement steel against detrimental water-borne attack.
- Reduces / eliminates the high energy requirements of external heat for accelerated
curing. - Provides perfect slump retention at hot climates.
- About 35 – 40% water reduction, compared with Reference mix.
USES
- Costarmix 600DG is used in the production of high performance precast and pre-stressed concrete    by reducing significant amount of water.
- Used to achieve high strength with improved workability and reduced w/c ratio.
- Long distance transportation of concrete.
- Costarmix 600DG is used in all concrete works where good workability and increased waterproofing properties are required such as sea walls, swimming pools, tunnels, bridges etc.
- Used in production of concrete with extremely workable characteristics referred to as high slump.
- Hot weather concreting.
