Fosroc Conplast WL: An Integral Waterproofing Liquid Admixture for Concrete and Mortar

Fosroc Conplast WL is an integral waterproofing liquid admixture used for concrete and mortar. The product is manufactured by Fosroc Chemicals India Private Limited and marketed and supplied in India by their authorized distributor, Space Arc Engineering. Here are the main uses and advantages of Fosroc Conplast WL:
Uses:

• Fosroc Conplast WL is used to minimize permeability and increase the waterproofing properties of concrete and cement sand mortars for critical applications like roof slabs and screeds, basements, external plastering, bathroom floors, water tanks, sumps, and drains.

Advantages:

• Fosroc Conplast WL is a liquid admixture that offers instant and complete dispersion throughout the mix, ensuring uniform waterproofing throughout the concrete matrix.
• This high-efficiency admixture can dramatically reduce the permeability of concrete and mortar, making them more durable and long-lasting.
• In addition to its waterproofing properties, Conplast WL also improves workability, making it easier to compact even when using harsh sands or aggregates.
• Improved concrete quality: Minimizes porosity and honeycombing. Produces dense homogeneous concrete.

Conplast WL (formerly known as Conplast X421IC) conforms to IS:2645-2003. It is a dark brown liquid based on lignosulphonates that mixes readily with water and therefore disperses evenly. Fosroc provides technical advisory services for onsite assistance and advice on admixture selection, evaluation trials, and dispensing equipment. We can provide technical data and guidance for admixtures and other products suitable for use with both fresh and hardened concrete.

Properties of Fosroc Conplast WL:

• Chloride content: As per IS 2645-2003
• This product is compatible with all types of cement, except for High Alumina Cement, including pozzolanic cement.Permeability to water: < 15% as compared to 50% max allowable under IS:2645 compared to control sample.
• Effect on Setting Time: No significant impact on the setting time of concrete or mortar.
• Compressive Strength: It maintains the same compressive strength as control concrete or mortar, and may even enhance strength if the water reduction potential is fully utilized.
• Workability: Improves workability at reduced water-cement ratio.

Application instructions:

• For reducing permeability to a minimum in sand/cement mortars, Fosroc Conplast WL is the ideal choice.
• For all general mass concrete work, it is advisable to use Fosroc Conplast WL. This product is particularly useful when working with harsh aggregates, and when there are challenges with compaction or mix control, as it helps minimize the risk of porosity and permeability.or example, basements, bund walls, tanks, balconies, floor slabs, and roof slabs.
• The recommended dosage range for Fosroc Conplast WL is between 125ml to 200ml per 50kgs of cement. If the maximum dosage is used, a minimum of 15% water should be reduced to ensure no loss in strength. Site tests will be conducted to determine the optimal dosage.
• The required quantity of Fosroc Conplast WL is measured and stirred into the first or second bucket of water.
• Fosroc Conplast WL water mixture shall be added to the concrete or mortar and mixed thoroughly.
• Mixing shall be continued, and further water shall be added until the required workability is obtained.
• Consistency in water addition is important throughout all batches, and the same total amount of water used in the initial mix should be used for subsequent batches.
• Mixes using Fosroc Conplast WL will require much less water than normal mixes for the same workability. Water reduction may be as much as 15% or more.
