Description
V-MAR® 3 is a high efficiency liquid admixture designed to enable production of Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC) by modifying the rheology of concrete. V-MAR® 3 works by increasing the viscosity of the concrete while still allowing the concrete to flow without segregation.
V-MAR® 3 is based on a unique biopolymer and is manufactured under closely controlled conditions to provide uniform and predictable performance. V-MAR® 3 contains no intentionally added chlorides and no TEA. V-MAR® 3 complies with AS 1478, Type SN.
Application areas
- Precast and prestressed concrete to produce SCC
- SCC manufacture and production with variations in aggregate gradations and moisture content
Benefits
SCC production:
- Self-placement; removes vibration, changes shape under its weight and self consolidates within form work
- Supports no blocking, during passage through narrow openings and congested reinforcement
For precast and prestressed concrete:
- Reduced labour and improved productivity with easy concrete placement
- Highest quality surface finish, no need for surface touch ups
- Improved labour safety and work environment with reduction in plant noise levels
- Reduces wear and tear on forms with no vibration
- Achieves complete consolidation throughout concrete elements in thin and highly reinforced units
- Increased production flexibility in conventional concrete mixes
