DARACEM® 19A

High Range Water Reducing Admixture

Description

DARACEM® 19A is a high range water reducer, commonly referred to as a superplasticizer. It is an aqueous solution of a modified naphthalene sulfonate.

It is a low viscous liquid, which has been formulated by the manufacturer for use as received.  DARACEM® 19A contains no added Chloride or triethanolamine. DARACEM® 19A complies with AS 1478, Type HWR.

Application areas

  • Low water-cement ratios at low or normal slumps
  • Prestress, precast work and bridge decks
  • Tremie concreting and other applications with higher slump requirement

Benefits

  • High slump flowable concrete at no strength loss
  • Reduces the high energy requirements of external heat for accelerated curing
  • Early release strengths
  • Exhibits no significant segregation compared to a concrete without superplastisizer at same/high slump range
  • Reduces on the job time and improves mixer utilisation, aids in rapid discharge

Packaging

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