Plastit SPC10 is differentiated from conventional
superplasticisers in that it is based on a unique carboxylic
ether polymer with long lateral chains. This greatly
improves cement dispersion. At the start of the mixing
process electrocstatic dispersion occurs but the presence
of the lateral chains, linked to the polymer backbone.
Generate a steric hindrance which stabilizes the cement
particle’s capacity to separate and disperse. This
mechanism considerably reduces the water demand in
flowable concrete.
Plastit SPC10 combines the properties of water reduction
and workability retention. It allows the production of high
performance concrete and/or concrete with high workability.
Plastit SPC10 is a particularly strong hyperplasticiser
allowing production of consistent concrete properties
around the required dosage
Increased early and ultimate compressive strengths
Increased flexural strength
- Improved adhesion to reinforcing and stressing steel
Improved resistance to carbonation
Lower permeability
Increased resistance to aggressive atmospheric
conditions
Reduced shrinkage and creep
Increased durability
Plastit SPC10 is a high performance hyperplasticiser
intended for applications where increased early and
ultimate compressive strengths are required, and it has
been developed for use in
Self compacting concrete
Pumped concrete
High performance concrete
- Per-cast concrete
The optimum dosage Plastit SPC10 to meet specific
requirements should always be determined by trials using
the materials and conditions that will be experienced
in use. The normal dosage range is between 0.2 to 1.0
kg/100 kg of cementitious material
Packaging
Plastit SPC10 is available in 20 kg containers and 200 kg
drums
Storage
Plastit SPC10 has a minimum shelf life of 12 months
provided the temperature is kept within the range of 5°C
to 35°C. Should the temperature of the product fall outside
this range then contact CAPCO for advice.
Freezing point: Approximately -2°C
