MIRA® VL 10

Mid-Range Water Reducing Admixture

Description

MIRA® VL 10 is an aqueous solution of complex polycarboxylate compounds which contribute uniquely to concrete’s final properties of strength and durability. Effective through a wide dosage range, concrete with MIRA® VL 10 displays significant advantages compared to concrete using traditional admixtures. MIRA® VL 10 uses the latest innovation in polymer technology to produce minimal slump loss. MIRA® VL 10 contains no added chlorides and no TEA.

MIRA® VL 10 is manufactured under rigid controls to ensure uniform and predictable performance. MIRA® VL 10 is a Mid-range Water-Reducing Admixture (MWR) designed to improve concrete quality by providing extended slump life (slump retention) for critical pre-mixed and precast applications. MIRA® VL 10 is part of the MIRA VL series of admixtures from Chryso that combines the benefits of placement flexibility and durability in the performance of concrete. MIRA® VL 10 complies with AS 1478.1-2000, Type MWR.

Application areas

  • Concrete containing fibres
  • SCM mixes (Supplementary Cementitious Materials)
  • Green concrete, pumped concrete and concrete used in tight locations
  • Precast concrete

Benefits

  • Long slump life at normal set up to 2 hours depending on temperature
  • Superior strength performance; allows lower water-cement ratio concrete production with more hydration
  • Controlled set times
  • Overall improved quality of concrete with less potential to crack and improved abrasion resistance
  • Reduced placement effort
  • Superior pumpability
  • High workability
  • No additional retardation
