MIRA® VL 12

Mid-Range Water Reducing Admixture

Description

MIRA® VL 12 is an aqueous solution of complex polycarboxylate compounds which contribute uniquely to concrete’s final properties of strength and durability. Concrete made with MIRA® VL 12 displays significant advantages compared to concrete using traditional admixtures. MIRA® VL 12 uses latest innovation in polymer technology to produce minimal slump loss. MIRA® VL 12 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. Ideal for use in mid-strength concrete grades (25 to 50 MPa), where extended concrete workability is required for critical placement requiring slump life of 120 – 240 minutes. MIRA® VL 12 is part of the revolutionary MIRA® V series of admixtures from Chryso that combines the benefits of placement flexibility and durability in the performance of concrete.
MIRA® VL 12 complies with AS 1478.1-2000, type MWR.

Application areas

  • Precast concrete
  • Concrete containing fibres
  • Premix applications
  • Mixes containing SCM (Supplementary Cementitious Materials)
  • Pumped concrete and concrete used in tight locations
  • Concrete where less manpower is available for placement

Benefits

  • Long slump life at normal set
  • No additional retardation
  • Superior strength performance
  • Reduced placement effort
  • Superior pumpability
  • High workability
  • Controlled set times
  • Overall improved quality of concrete
  • Minimum slump loss, better overall cohesiveness, provides less “sticky” concrete for improved placement of concrete
