ADVA® LS 780

New Generation, high range water reducing/ superplasticizing admixture

Description

ADVA® LS 780 is the latest technology in the development of high range water-reducing superplasticising admixtures. It is an innovative versatile polycarboxylic polymer developed for the premix industry to maximise performance through a wide range of concrete strengths. ADVA® LS 780 contains no added Chlorides and no TEA.

ADVA® LS 780 is designed to assist in the producing high performance concrete that has lower plastic viscosity & lower yield stress. These attributes assist in enabling concrete to be pumped easier and it is “less sticky” than concrete made with conventional superplasticisers. ADVA® LS 780 complies with AS 1478.1-2000, Type HWR.

Application areas

  • Low water-cement ratios with high placement slumps
  • Tremie and pump mixes that require extended slump life

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
  • 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

Packaging

  • 205 L Drum
  • IBC 1000L
  • Bulk
  • Pail
