Concrete Admixtures & Curing Compounds

OVERVIEW

RANSCONMIX-IWC is an integral waterproofing admixturefor concrete / mortar which chemically converts thewater-soluble compounds present in concrete / mortarinto stable water insoluble compounds. It has goodpoliticizing properties, makes concrete cohesive andprevents segregation. It is used for all types ofconcrete / mortar requiring water impermeability.

PROPERTIES

RANSCONMIX-IWC is a ready to use aqueous solution of highly purified Lignosulphonateand a catalyst which promotes a more rapid and complete hydration of cement. Thisaction helps in making the Concrete/ mortar more dense thereby reducing porosity andgenerating waterproofing properties.

  • Makes concrete impermeable, thereby resisting frost and preventing efflorescence.
  • Improves plasticity of concrete and mortar, hence easy processing and preventing segregation.
  • Saves up to 10 % – 15 % water, increases the strength of the surface.
  • Easily soluble in water with a homogenous mix.
  • Highly plasticized concrete/ mortar.
  • Economical, easy to use.
  • Reduces permeability and porosity.
  • Concrete containing RANSCONMIX-IWC is resistant to water.
  • Penetration either under conditions of hydrostatic pressure.
  • Capillary absorption.

AREAS OF USE/PRIMARY USE

It is used in ready mix plants, blocks, concrete and all sorts of mortar where less porosityis of utmost importance. It produces a plastic concrete that is more workable, easier toplace and more finish able.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

The application temperature should be between 5°C to 45°C. Application procedures may vary slightly depending upon site conditions. The generalrecommended guidelines for the application of the waterproofing system are as follows:

DIRECTION FOR USE:-

RANSCONMIX-IWC should be added to the concrete mix/ cement mortar during the mixing cycleat the same time as the water and the aggregates. Never add RANSCONMIX-IWC to the dry cement.

  • Mix 150 ml. to 300 ml. Per 50 kgs. Bag ofcement.
  • Optimum dosage is 200 ml per bag of cement.
  • Mix RANSCONMIX-IWC directly into the gaugingwater.
  • Where mixing with gauging water is not possibleit should be poured on aggregate in the feeder.
  • DO NOT ADD RANSCONMIX-IWC DIRECTLY TO THE CEMENT.

EFFECTS OF OVER DOSAGE

A severe over-dosage of RANSCONMIX-IWC will result in the following:

  • Retardation of initial set.
  • Increase in air entrainment.
  • Increase in workability

DOSAGE

Dosage of RANSCONMIX-IWC can vary from 0.300 Ltr -0.600 Ltr per 100 kg Cement. However optimum dosage of RANSCONMIX-IWC is 200ml per 50 kg bag of cement.

PRECAUTION:

Mix/Use only the required quantity of material, which can be utilized within stipulated pot life to avoid solidification.Wash all the tools and tackles with industrial solvent immediately after the application is completed.

HEALTH & SAFETY

Avoid prolonged contact with eyes and skin. For detailed information refer to relevant material safety data sheet.
