ADVA® 650

High Range Water Reducing Admixture

Description

ADVA® 650 is a latest technology in the development of high range water-reducing superplasticizing admixtures. ADVA® 650 is an innovative, versatile and third generation polycarboxylic ether polymer.

ADVA® 650 is developed for the premix and pre-cast industries to maximise performance through a wide range of concrete strengths. ADVA® 650 contains no added chlorides and no TEA. ADVA® 650 complies with AS 1478.1-2000, Type HWR.

Application areas

  • Low water-cement ratio concrete with high placement slumps
  • Tremie and pump mixes that require extended slump life
  • Precast and prestressed applications for high early strengths and reduced heat energy for curing

Benefits

  • Extremely versatile, developed for concrete with wide range of strengths, no need for other superplasticizers on specific applications
  • Produces very high slump concrete at low water-cement ratios without segregation and loss of strength
  • High early strength development with reduced heat energy for curing
  • Excellent slump retention properties without retardation
  • Can be added at the batch plant, no need for on-site addition
  • Requires less vibration for ease of placement in reinforced concrete
  • Improves surface and off form finishes
