Admixtures

Adoflow-S Standard Set PlasticiserThe addition of Adoflow-S to an existing concrete mix facilitatesup to 25% reduction in added water content for a given slumpwith the resultant marked reduction in water/cement ratioproviding increased strengths.

Alternatively it will increase slump by up to 150% without anyincrease in water content. Adoflow-S is therefore used to:• Increased strengths without loss of workability, or• Improve workabilility without an increase in water/cementratio, or

• Maintain specified strength with reduced cement content.

The inclusion of Adoflow-S In a well designed concrete mix willalso provide:• Easier and speedier placing and compaction.• Minimal segregation and bleeding.• Superior finish.• Reduced shrinkage and minimal cracking.• Increased density and impermeability.

Available in 5, 25 and 210 litre sizes.

Adoflow-A Accelerated Set PlasticiserThe inclusion of Adoflow-A in a concrete mix will accelerate the setting and hardening ofconcrete so that early strength gain is in excess of that obtained even with Rapid HardeningPortland Cement with the increase maintained beyond the 28 day age. This in addition to itsplasticizing action.

Due to these characteristics the inclusion of Adoflow-A in a concretemix, as well as providing all the benefits obtained from the use ofAdoflow-S Standard Set Plasticiser, will also facilitate:• Development of higher early strengths.• Safer winter concreting without delays.• Earlier stripping and greater re-use of moulds.• Earlier safe handling of Precast Units.

Adoflow-ACF Accelerated Chlorine Free PlasticiserAdoflow-ACF is a chloride free accelerating admixture with plasticising properties. It Istherefore ideal for use when it is desired to accelerate the set and rate of strength gain inconcrete in instances where specification or code of practice, such as that for prestressedconcrete does not permit the use of calcium chloride.

The inclusion of Adoflow-ACF in a concrete mix will:• Accelerate initial and final set.• Increase rate of strength gain.• Enable earlier safe handling of precast units.• Enable reduction in water content.• Provide higher early strengths.• Permit earlier release of formwork.• Provide safer winter concreting with delays.• Improve workability.


Adoflow-R Retarded Set PlasticiserThe Inclusion of Adoflow-R in a concrete mix will providesimilar characteristics and benefits to those provided byAdoflow-A. In addition, it will also reduce the rate ofhydration of the cement, to retard initial and final set, as wellas reduce the peak temperature resulting from the hydrationprocess, thereby minimizing the risk of cracking. Due to thesecharacteristics the inclusion of Adoflow-R in a concrete mix,as well as providing all the benefits from the use of Adoflow-S Standard Set Plasticiser will also facilitate:• Longer time available between mixing and placing.• Avoidance of cold joints between pours.• Pours of greater volume with reduced risk of cracking.

Adoflow-Extra Super PlasticiserAdoflow Extra is a liquid plasticiser and water reducing agent which imparts extremely highworkability when added to a concrete mix or cementitious grout. Being a highly effectivedeflocculating agent it disperses cement paste into its primary particles increasing flowcharacteristics.Benefits associated with the use of Adoflow Extra include:• Enables concrete to achieve high compaction with minimal

or no vibration or tamping.• Increases flow characteristics of concrete to assist with

difficult pours.• Permits significant reduction in water content of normal

workability concrete with consequent reduction inwater/cement ratio to produce higher and early ultimatestrengths.

Adotuf Concrete Surface Hardener and Dustproofer

The application of Adotuf to an existing cement-bound floor will significantly improve theproperties of the floor to render dustproof, oil and grease proof, case hardened, resistant todilute acids, more durable longer lasting and easier to clean.

Surface preparation:Cement bound floors must be sound, clean, dry and free from oils, greases, fats etc. Newfloors require at least 10 days to thoroughly dry out before treatment.

Covering capacity:Depends upon floor but average guide is 8m2 per litre of Adotuf per coat and generally twocoats are required for best results.Available in 5, 25 and 210 litre sizes.

Adocure Sealer

Adocure Sealer

A clear acrylic polymer resin solution primarily for application to surfaces of freshly laidconcrete where it has a double function, firstly to form a highly effective curing membranethat conforms to ASTM. C309, and secondly to act as an in-depth sealer for the hardenedconcrete rendering its surface dustproof and extremely hard wearing. Its secondary functionand benefits are also applicable when the material is applied to existing concrete surfaces.

Benefits:• Cures and seals in one operation saving time and labour.• Ideal for use in fast track construction.• Curing efficiency 75% in accordance with ASTM. C390.• Provides abrasive resistant hard wearing easy-clean surface.• Effective anti-carbonation coating.• Permits bond of most subsequent coatings intended for concrete.

Adocure Sealer PFAvailable in PF grade for Power Floated floors.

Adocure WWA white, aqueous silicate solution, designed to deposit a layer of firmly bonded, highcohesive strength, minute crystals within the top surface of the concrete to form an integralmembrane which fills all surface pores and capillaries to reduce moisture evaporation.Coverage: 5.5m2 per litre.Available in 25 and 210 litre sizes.
