​Fosroc Chemicals India Private Limited produces the waterproofing additive Fosroc Conplast WL Xtra, which Space Arc Engineering, the company's authorised distributor, markets and supplies in India. The advantages of this admixture, which can be used in concrete, plaster, and cement-sand mortars, are mentioned below.

Primary Uses

reduces permeability and improves waterproofing qualities in key applications such water tanks, sumps, drains, bathroom floors, basements, external plastering, and roof slabs.

Advantages:

• Modern technology: High-performance concrete produced by the new generation of molecules is suitable for all grades of concrete, even higher grades.
• Corrosion Resistant: It is the first product of its kind in the integral waterproofing line and satisfies the requirements of the amended Japanese code JIS Z1535.
• High Strength: Better cement particle dispersion aids in greater hydration, which results in high strength compared to control.
• Cohesive Mix: It makes the concrete more cohesive and easier to work with.
• Durability: Due to a decrease in permeability and an increase in steel's corrosion resistance, concrete's durability is improved.

Advantages and Features:

• Conplast WL Xtra is a cement dispersion polymer-based dark brown liquid that disperses uniformly and combines easily with water.
• It reduces the water requirement for required workability and minimises segregation and bleeding.
• It is compliant with IS:2645-2003.
• All types of cements, including pozzolanic cements, can be used with it; high alumina cement cannot.
• In comparison to the control sample, it has a permeability to water of 10% as opposed to the maximum permissible 50% per IS:2645.
• If the entire potential of water reduction is taken use of, it can even improve on strength properties while maintaining compressive strength equal to control concrete or mortar.
• ​It enhances workability when the water-to-cement ratio is lower.

​Dosage:
Dosage: 200ml for 50kg of cement is the ideal dosage. Site trials should be carried out to establish the appropriate dosage.

Application Instructions:

• According to the mix design, add cement and aggregates to the concrete mixer. Mix in the dry state for one minute.
• 75 to 80 percent of the mixing water should be added first.
• The remaining mixing/gauging water should be mixed with Fosroc Conplast WL Xtra according to the appropriate dose before being added to the concrete mixer and mixing for an additional 2 minutes.
• If necessary, either place the concrete or use plaster.
• Use Fosroc Concure curing additives or cure the applied mortar or concrete in accordance with appropriate construction methods.

Do's and Don'ts:

• Do not add Fosroc Conplast WL Xtra straight to dry cement & aggregate mix.
• Keep water-cement ratio carefully as recommended.
• Do not exceed the dosage that is advised.
• Fosroc Conplast WL Xtra is a durable and effective integral waterproofing liquid admixture that may be used in many applications.
