Type POWDER, Base VOLCANIC Auracast 50, Shelf Life 2 YEAR

Auracast 50concrete admixture for precast concreteelements to obtain high early compressivestrength. Usesauracast 50 provides a premium performance precast super plasticiserintended in scenarios where reduction in cycle time andearly strength are required, And features a been developed intended for application in precast concrete elements like hollow core slabs, Cement tiles, Kerbstones, Edgings, Other items for gardenlandscape design, Building blocks, Bricks etc concrete requiring enhanced strength at an early stage without steamcuring high performance concreteadvantages low viscosity admixture suitable for precast elements. Suitable for concrete having cement replacements andlow water cement ratio. Provides high early strength without increase in cementcontent or reduction in workability. Ideal for precast concreteproduction. Early de, Shuttering will result in increased productivity. Improves surface fi nish minimizes damage due to early handling better resistance to carbonation. Reduces shrinkage and creep reduces effl orescence. Standard complianceauracast 50 complice to is 9103 1999 as a superplasticizerand astm c 494 type f. Description. Auracast 50 offers a one-of-a-kind combination of the latest generationsuper plasticisers, Based on polycarboxylic ether polymer withlong side chains and short main chains. This greatly improvescement dispersion and alongside facilitate quick start of hydrationprocess. At the start of the mixing process an electrostaticdispersion occurs but the cement particles capacity to separateand disperse. This mechanism considerably reduces the waterdemand in fl owable concrete. Auracast 50 is a strong super plasticiser allowing production of consistent concrete properties at required dosage. Dosagethe optimum dosage of auracast 50 to meet specifi c requirementshould always be determined by trials using the materialsand conditions which will become experienced in use. The normaldosage range is between 0. 2 to 2. 0 ltrs/100 kg of cementitousmaterialdosage beyond limits dosage beyond limits is ideal for use to meet particular mix requirementsin consultation with fosroc technical departmenteffects of overdosingoverdosage may cause delay in the setting time and segregation.
