Chemrite – R4QVA

Chemrite- R4QVA
High Range Water-Reducing and Slump Retaining Concrete Admixture
_______________________________________________________________________________
Product Description Chemrite R4QVA is a highly effective liquid superplasticizer
for the production of free flowing concrete with substantial water
reduction. It imparts excellent slump retention for prolonged
periods.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Uses Chemrite R4QVA is used as a superplasticizer in the production
of free flowing concrete such as
-- Slabs and foundations
-- Walls, columns and piers
-- Slender components with densely packed reinforcement.
-- Piles
-- Pre-cast concrete elements
-- Pre-stressed concrete
-- Bridges and cantilever structures
_______________________________________________________________________________
Advantages Chemrite R4QVA provides the following properties:
-- Workability is greatly improved for easy placement of
concrete.
-- Especially suitable for slender components with densely
packed reinforcement.
-- Concrete requires less compactive effort.
-- Improved cohesion of the concrete mix.
-- Significantly reduces the risk of segregation and allows
greater time for placement.
-- Upto 20% water reduction, final strength improved upto
40%.

Application Detail
_______________________________________________________________________________
Dosage Recommended dosage: 0.6-2.0 % by weight of cement. It is
advisable to carry out trial mixes to establish the correct dosage.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Dispensing Chemrite R4QVA can be added to the mixing water prior to its
addition to the aggregates or directly to the freshly mixed
concrete.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Curing Fresh concrete must be cured properly, especially at high
temperatures in order to prevent plastic and drying shrinkage.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Compatibility Besides the O.P.C., Chemrite R4QVA is also compatible with
sulphate resistant cement and silica fume.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Remarks When accidental overdosing occurs, the set retarding effect
increases. During this period the concrete must be kept moist in
order to prevent premature drying out.
