BP-MegaFlow SP1000
BP-MegaFlow SP1000 is a new generation modified polycarboxylate ether based superplasticiser. Having
unique carboxylic ether polymer with long lateral chains, it is an effective cement dispersant, fluidifier
and high range water reducer as compared to conventional superplasticisers. BP-MegaFlow SP1000 products have unique water-reducing properties and allow the development of fluid mixes with low permeability performance. Lower permeability minimizes water absorption and chloride ingress. The result is a more durable structure with increased service life.
| Standards | ASTM C494, Type D and G, BSEN 934 – 2 |
|---|---|
| Application Area | BP-MegaFlow SP1000 is specially intended for use in self compacting concrete, high strength concrete, durable concrete containing GGBS, micro silica, fly ash, etc. It is used in ready-mix concrete where extra ordinary slump retention is required in hot weather conditions. Extremely useful for concrete in strength class of 15-50N/mm2 and high fines concrete. |
| Advantages | ✓ Produces free flowing concrete without segregation and bleeding. |
| Compatibility | BP-MegaFlow SP1000 can be used with all types of cements and cementitious materials like fly ash, GGBS, micro silica, etc. BP-MegaFlow SP1000 should not be premixed with other admixtures. |
| Dosage | As a guide, the rate of addition is generally in the range of 0.4-1.5% by weight of cement depending on the function. Higher dosage can be used after verification by conducting lab and site trials. Optimum dosage of BP-MegaFlow SP1000 and effect on concrete properties such as workability, strength, setting time, etc. are best assessed after preliminary tests on site using the actual materials of mixes under consideration. Overdosing may result in higher workability and fast setting. If intentionally or Effect of overdosing accidentally increased above the recommended limit, ensure that the stripping time of formwork is extended accordingly. |
