Dr. Plast 3170 (Plasticizer)

Product Overview

Plasticizers are concrete admixtures designed to improve the workability of concrete without increasing water content. By reducing the water requirement, they help achieve better consistency while enhancing the overall strength, durability, and surface finish of the concrete.

Key Features

• Enhanced Workability: Improves the flow and ease of placing concrete without adding extra water
• Reduced Water Content: Maintains or improves concrete performance while using less water
• Increased Strength: Higher density and strength due to reduced water-cement ratio
• Better Finish: Produces smoother surface finishes and reduces honeycombing
• Cost Effective: Reduces cement consumption while maintaining quality
• Improved Durability: Lower permeability leads to better long-term performance

Applications

• Ready-mix concrete production
• Pre-cast concrete elements
• Concrete blocks and paving stones
• Structural concrete works
• Mass concrete pours
• Hot weather concreting

Technical Benefits

• Reduces water requirement by 5-15%
• Improves concrete compaction and reduces voids
• Extends workability retention time
• Compatible with all types of cement
• Does not promote corrosion of reinforcement
• Meets relevant industry standards

Dosage and Application

The recommended dosage typically ranges from 0.1% to 0.3% by weight of cement, depending on the desired workability and strength requirements. For optimal results, add the plasticizer during the mixing process. Consult our technical team for specific dosage recommendations based on your project requirements.
