Conplast constructive solutions ® MS

Description

Uses Conplast MS micro silica is primarily used to improve the properties of hardened concrete where a reduction in permeability, increased durability and resistance to chlorides, sulphates, abrasion, frost attack and alkali silica reaction are required. Advantages „ Significantly reduces permeability by minimising the penetration of moisture and aggressive elements „ Significant reduction in chloride ion penetration by reducing continuous capillary pores „ Improved mechanical properties Description Conplast MS supplied as a fine powder is added to the concrete mix early during the mixing process. The resultant low permeability concrete will exhibit improved mechanical properties, and increased resistance to the effects of chlorides, sulphates, gases, frost attack and alkali silica reaction. Technical Support Fosroc provides a technical advisory service for on-site assistance and advice on admixture selection, evaluation trials and dispensing equipment. Technical data and guidance can be provided for admixtures and other products for use with fresh and hardened concrete. Standards compliance Conforms to ASTM C1240-95a. Dosage Typically 4 to 10% by weight of cement depending upon the specific need. The optimum dosage of Conplast MS to meet specific requirements should always be determined by trials using the materials and conditions that will be experienced in use. Please note higher addition levels are generally required where the high performance concrete such as high strength concrete or underwater concrete is a pre-requisite. Properties Chemical analysis SiO2 Min. 85% Alkalies as Na2 O Max. 1% Loss on ignition Max.5% Bulk density Approx. 610 kg/m3 Application instructions Dispensing and mixing Conplast MS should always be added in the early stages of the mixing process. It is recommended that Conplast MS be weight batched to the required quantity prior to addition to the mix. In dry batching operations, Conplast MS should be dry blended with aggregates and cement prior to the addition of water to the mixer. In wet batching operations Conplast MS should be added to the mixer at the same time as the cement. Conplast MS can if required, be added to the mixer in slurry form. In order to achieve a low water cement ratio, the use of high range water reducing admixtures such as Conplast SP430, Conplast SP423 are highly recommended. Placing When producing concrete with Conplast MS we suggest a target slump in the range of 25 to 35 mm in excess of the normal slump requirement, this will accomodate the additional cohesion promoted by the use of Conplast MS. Concrete produced with Conplast MS will have greatly improved cohesive qualities. Estimating Packaging Conplast MS is available in 15 kg bags. Storage Conplast MS has a minimum shelf life of 12 months if stored in a dry location in unopened packs Conplast® MS INDIA/2005/0121/D Important note : Fosroc products are guaranteed against defective materials and manufacture and are sold subject to its standard terms and conditions of sale, copies of which may be obtained on request.
