PLASTIMIX-RR

HYDRATION-RETARDING WATER-REDUCING CHEMICAL ADMIXTURE FOR CONCRETE, GROUT and MORTAR

DESCRIPTION:

Plastimix-RR is a ready to use, aqueous solution of powerful set retarding agents designed to slow the hydration of Portland cement. Plastimix-RR is also a water-reducing admixture. This water reduction can be used to improve the workability and flowability characteristics of concrete and grout, or to capitalize on the benefits of reduced w/cm ratios. Plastimix-RR can improve cement performance, resulting in improved ultimate strengths and related concrete properties.

ADVANTAGES:

Provides uniform control of setting time based on dosage rate

Maintains slump life during extended mixing times

Improves paste quality by decreasing water-cement ratio for a given degree of workability

Increases compressive strengths

Aids to reduce peak heat of hydration in mass concrete

Reduces thermal stress and cracking

Aids in preventing cold joints

DOSAGE RATE:

Plastimix-RR is recommended for use at a dosage rate of 4 to 24 fluid ounces per 100 pounds (260 to 1560 ml per 100 kg) of cement.

TECHNICAL NOTE:

Plastimix-RR does not contain calcium chloride or any chloride based components. It will not promote or contribute to corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete.

Note: As the dosage rate of Plastimix-RR increases, concrete set time is increased.

STORAGE:

Plastimix-RR may freeze at temperatures below 40 F degrees. Although freezing does not harm the performance of Plastimix-RR, precautions should be taken to protect it from freezing. If it should happen to freeze, thaw and reconstitute with mechanical agitation. Do Not Use Pressurized Air for Agitation.

COMPATIBILITY:

Plastimix-RR is compatible with all types of Portland cement, class C ands F fly ash, slag, silica fume, calcium chloride, fibers and approved water reducing, and super plasticizing admixtures.

PACKAGING:

55-gallon drums, 275-gallon totes and bulk tank truck
