Fosroc Conplast SP600: High-Range Water-Reducing Admixture for High-Strength Concrete
Fosroc Conplast SP600 is a high-range water-reducing, superplasticising, and slump-retaining admixture that is used in the production of pumpable, high-strength, high-grade concrete, requiring little or no vibration during placing. This brown liquid is instantly dispersible in water and is manufactured by Fosroc Chemicals India Private Limited. It is marketed and supplied in India by their authorized distributor, Space Arc Engineering, for all the Fosroc range of products.
Conplast SP600 is formulated to provide a high water reduction of up to 25% without losing workability. It produces high-quality concrete that has reduced permeability, increased strength, and improved cohesion, resulting in denser, close-textured concrete with reduced porosity that is more durable. This admixture is chloride-free, making it safe to use in prestressed concrete and with sulfate-resisting cements and marine aggregates.
This admixture can be used with all types of cement, except high alumina cement, and is compatible with other types of Fosroc admixtures when added separately to the mix. Conplast SP600 is designed to improve the workability of concrete, making it easier and quicker to place and compact, which results in a higher-quality finish. If you take advantage of water reduction, our product can offer high early strength for precast concrete.
Conplast SP600 is compliant with IS:9103:1999 and BS:5075 Part 3 and conforms to ASTM-C-494 Type 'D' and Type 'G' depending on the dosages used. It is air-entraining, and some minor adjustments may be required to produce a high workable mix without segregation. Cohesion is improved due to the dispersion of cement particles, minimizing segregation and improving surface finish.
The dosage of Conplast SP600 needs to be optimized for the specific mix design and materials used, and trials should be carried out on-site. As a guide, the rate of addition is generally in the range of 0.5% to 1.0% by weight of cement for normal grades of concrete. Dosages outside the typical ranges can also be used to meet specific requirements, and Fosroc can be contacted for advice.
An overdose of Conplast SP600 above the recommended level of admixture may result in high workability, slight increase in air entrainment, and retardation of setting time. However, the ultimate strength of the concrete will not be adversely affected and will generally be higher than for normal concrete if properly placed and cured.
Conplast SP600 is supplied in 250 Kg drums or bulk and has a minimum shelf life of 12 months when stored under normal temperatures. Ensure optimal storage conditions by protecting the item from extreme temperatures and storing it in a shaded area. If you require assistance with Concrete Mix Design, feel free to contact Fosroc's advisory service.
In conclusion, Fosroc Conplast SP600 is an excellent admixture for the production of high-strength, high-quality concrete. It provides improved workability, increased strength, and improved quality, making it an ideal choice for use in a wide range of applications. It is chloride-free, making it safe to use in prestressed concrete and with sulfate-resisting cements and marine aggregates.
