ADVA® LS 800

High Range Water Reducing Admixture

Description

ADVA® LS 800 is a high range water-reducing admixture. It is an innovative, versatile polycarboxylic polymer developed for the premix industry to maximise performance through a wide range of concrete strengths. ADVA® LS 800 is designed to assist in producing high performance concrete that has lower plastic viscosity & lower yield stress.

These attributes assist in enabling concrete to be pumped easier and “less sticky” than concrete made with conventional superplasticizers. ADVA® LS 800 contains no added Chlorides and no TEA. ADVA® LS 800 complies with AS 1478.1-2000, Type HWR.

Application areas

  • Ready-mix concrete
  • Precast concrete
  • Low water-cement ratio concrete with high placement slumps
  • Tremie and pump mixes that require extended slump life

Benefits

  • Developed for concrete with wide range of strengths, eliminating the need for other superplasticisers for specific applications
  • Produces very high slump concrete at low water-cement ratios without segregation and loss of strength
  • High water cut and early strength development, well suited for precast
  • Great 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
  • Exhibits superior water reduction
  • Improves surface and off form finishes
