CHEMISTIK
WATER REDUCER

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

This liquid admixture is used as an aid to increase workability of fresh concrete without increasing water content or maintaining workability with a reduced amount of water. Hence can be used as a water reducer or workability aid for the reduction of cement.

ADVANTAGES:

Chemistik Water Reducer can be used with all types of cements including the sulphate resistant type. It is chloride free and has no harmful effects on reinforcement steel, prestressed tendons etc. It is an efficient surfactant which allows quick dispersion of cement particles due to weakening of interparticle attraction, thereby preventing the formation of lumps in cement. As wetting of cement particle is very efficient, the rate of hydration is also faster, leading to early strengths.

APPLICATIONS:

As a water reducer: by keeping the workability of the concrete mix constant, a reduction of upto 15% in the quantity of water added can be achieved giving higher strength. This results in less shrinkage and cracking.
Increase in compressive strength.
The reduction of water-cement ratio permits the casting of more dense concrete structure with less voids. This makes the concrete more impermeable.
Reducing water ensures less bleeding and segregation.
As a workability aid, if the WIC ratio is kept constant the addition of Chemistik Water Reducer increases workability.
The use of water reducer permits reduction in W / C ratio thereby increasing the compressive strength. If higher strengths are not required then the cement content can be lowered.
