After removal of the formwork, the resultant concrete has a smooth, hard, uniform finish, with reduced incidence of blow holes. MasterFinish 202 can be applied to the formwork by spray in the form of a light uniform mist coating. PRIMARY USES

MasterFinish 202 is formulated for application to plywood, timber, steel and plastic faced formwork and moulds, prior to casting concrete, to ensure a clean release. ACTION

MasterFinish 202 reacts chemically with cement to impart excellent release properties to treated surfaces. Concrete cast against surfaces coated with MasterFinish 202 exhibit a smooth, hard, uniform finish. MasterFinish 202 has no negative effect on the properties of concrete no will it impair the adhesion of subsequent surface treatments when applied at the recommended coverage rates. PACKAGING

MasterFinish 202 is available in 210 litre drums. 203 litre drums (for export only). Bulk deliveries available upon request. TYPICAL PROPERTIES*

Colour Brown / Green / Amber Specific gravity 0.85 at 25°C Chloride content: Nil Freezing point -10°C Flashpoint 66°C

COMPOSITION

Low viscosity hydrocarbon carrier, blended with a chemically active release agent.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE Apply before the first casting and thereafter re-apply immediately after stripping and cleaning the mould. Lightweight horticultural sprayers are ideal as MasterFinish 202 is finely atomised to give a uniform coating. Excessive application should be avoided. Alternatively, application may be made by a fine haired brush, only a very thin coating should be made and any excess removed. If after the first application, the MasterFinish 202 is completely absorbed into new timber or plywood, a further application should be made before filling the moulds or formwork. COVERAGE

The coverage rate for MasterFinish 202 is between 30 to 70m²/litre when spray applied depending on smoothness and porosity of the formwork used. NOTE

Progressively better results are obtained on plywood and timber moulds as they become impregnated and the operatives become accustomed to working with the release agent. MasterFinish 202 in general, may be used over timber moulds, etc., which have been treated with other mould oils, providing excess has been removed. EQUIPMENT CARE

MasterFinish 202 may usually be left in spray guns or sprayers without detriment, but with certain types, there may be some softening of rubber seals with prolonged contact.

A surface thermometer and field judgement should be used to determine actual cure rates. Cured grout should have solid, almost metallic ring when struck lightly with a hammer, checking as close to the base as possible.

MasterFlow ® 400

APPLICATION PROCEDURE

SURFACE PREPARATION

As with all epoxy resin applications the quality of surface preparation has a direct effect on the performance and durability of the system. Concrete surfaces should be sound, dimensionally stable, clean, free from laitance, paint, oil, grease, mould release agent and residual curing compound. A rough surface is preferable. Metal surfaces or components to be bedded, should be free from any rust, scaling or paint. Formwork if used should be wrapped in polythene to ensure a clean release. MIXING:

Do not split packs or alter the ratio of resin components in any way. Mix with a slow speed drill and paddle. Add the contents of the reactor container to the base component in a suitable mixing vessel, ensuring complete transfer of both resin components. Mix for one minute before slowly adding the aggregate and continue mixing until a flowing, pourable lump free consistency is achieved. Mixing for too long can entrain air. PLACING:

Allow to stand free 5min before pouring, into the prepared area in such a manner that it has the shortest distance to flow. For long pours a suitable head of pressure may be required. Ensure the area to be grouted is not completely sealed, and any displaced air can be expelled. Pour continuously from one side only. Allow the grout to set prior to removal of formwork (normally after 6 hours). Where placement exceeds depths of 80mm, application should be carried out in layers. The second layer to be applied after 6 hours. EQUIPMENT CARE

Clean all equipment promptly with MasterTop THN 2. Any excess cured material will have to be mechanically removed.

STORAGE

Store under cover out of direct sunlight and protect from extremes of temperature. (In tropical climates the product must be stored in an air-conditioned environment) . Shelf life is up to one year when stored in unopened containers as above. Failure to comply with the recommended storage conditions may result in premature deterioration of the product or packaging. For specific storage advice consult BASF's Technical Services Department. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

As with all chemical products, care should be taken during use and storage to avoid contact with eyes, mouth, skin and foodstuffs (which can also be tainted with vapour until product is fully cured or dried). Treat splashes to skin and eyes immediately. If accidentally ingested, seek medical attention. Reseal containers after use.

PREPARATION The surface onto which the grout is to be applied should be scabbled to remove laitance and expose aggregate. Do not use bush hammers or similar preparation equipment that can crush the aggregate but leave it in place. The surface must be free of oil, dust, dirt, paint, curing compounds or other contaminants that could impair adhesion. Soak area to be grouted to minimise absorption. Surfaces should be damp but free of standing water. Particular attention should be paid to bolt holes to ensure that these are water-free. Use oil free compressed air to blow out bolt holes and pockets as necessary. Base plates, bolts, etc. must be clean and free of oil, grease and paint. Set and align equipment. If shims are to be removed after the grout has set, then lightly grease them for easy removal. Ensure formwork is secure and watertight to prevent movement and leaking during the placing and curing of the grout. MIXING

Damp down the inside of the grout mixer with water prior to mixing the initial batch of MasterFlow 524 . Ensure the mixer is damp but free of standing water. Add the pre-measured quantity of water. Slowly add the MasterFlow 524 , mixing continuously. Mix for 3-5 minutes until a smooth, uniform, lump free consistency is achieved. PLACING

Place immediately after mixing, into the prepared area in such a manner that the grout has the shortest distance to flow. Pour the grout continuously maintaining a constant hydrostatic head wherever possible. MasterFlow grouts are suitable for use with most types of pumping equipment. Immediately after MasterFlow 524 grout is placed, cover all exposed grout with clean wet hessian and keep moist until grout surface is ready to be finished, or until final set. Alternatively, consider the use of a curing membrane from the MasterKure range.

MasterFlow ® 648 (Formerly known as Masterflow 648 CP)

High strength foundation grout DESCRIPTION

MasterFlow 648 is a high performance non-shrink, epoxy grouting material for support and precision of heavy equipment to ensure the proper transmission of static and dynamic loads to the equipment foundation. ADVANTAGES

MasterFlow 648 is a three component system that includes a two-part epoxy resin and carefully blended aggregate. At elevated temperatures, MasterFlow 648 provides excellent resistance to creep, high compressive strength, modulus of elasticity and excellent resistance to cracking. This product also produces a high percentage of bearing surface, and good adhesion to steel and concrete. Critical machinery alignment is assured because of its excellent resistance to creep and high temperature compressive strength. MasterFlow 648 is chemically stable for temperatures up to 150°C. When installation conditions vary, the handling properties of MasterFlow 648 can be optimised by adjusting the amount of aggregate used. MasterFlow 648 is resistant to oil, synthetic lubricants, water and most chemicals, and cures quickly which means equipment can return to service much sooner. APPLICATION

The gas transmission industry made MasterFlow 648 the industry standard for grouting large compressors as well as other equipment. The steel industry selects MasterFlow 648 series grout for foundations under crushers, ball mills, rod mills slab tables, scale breakers, bolt pockets, and other heavy equipment. The mining, power, pulp and paper, and chemical industries are also successfully using MasterFlow 648 grout in a variety of applications. High strength, low creep, and good chemical resistance spell a multitude of uses for MasterFlow Grouts. MasterFlow Grouts are essential wherever precise permanent alignment of machinery is required.

FILL RATIOS MasterFlow 648 is packaged in units containing 6.726 fill ratios, that is, the ratio by weight of aggregate to the combined resin and hardener components. Because the foundation temperature and geometry will vary on each installation, MasterFlow 648 is designed so that the amount of aggregate can be adjusted to provide maximum bearing area while maintaining good flow and handling properties. The following chart lists the amount of aggregate, in litres, that may be withheld from each full unit. However, it is always preferable to use the greatest amount of aggregate that will allow for proper placement. Litres of aggregate that may be removed from each full unit: Temp. Thin pours or

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

MasterFlow 648 resists non-oxidising mineral acids and salts, caustics, dilute oxidising acids and salts, plus some organic acids and solvents. For more specific information contact your BASF Construction Chemicals UAE LLC Representative.


CURE TIME VS. TEMPERATURE

Cure time of the grout will depend upon the temperature of the base and foundation rather than the ambient air temperature. Unless the ambient air temperature has been constant for several days the base / foundation temperature will generally be lower than air temperature. Cured grout should have solid, almost metallic ring when struck lightly with a hammer, checking as close to the base as possible. POUR THICKNESS

MasterFlow 648 can be used for deep pours up to 300mm. For greater thicknesses, please contact our technical department. ESTIMATING AND ORDERING

Due to installation variables etc., it is best to order an additional 10-20% as a safety precaution. 104.3kg Full Unit Yield 0.049m³ MasterFlow 648: Liquid 1 10.1kg Hardener 1 3.4kg Aggregate 4 22.7kg

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

Detailed installation procedures for MasterFlow 648 are available on request. CONCRETE PREPARATION AND SEALING

The concrete surface must be scabbled so that large aggregate is exposed to ensure removal of all laitance and weak surface material. New concrete should have a compressive strength of at least 20 MPa; greater strength is preferred. THE CONCRETE SURFACE MUST BE CLEAN AND DRY WHEN THE GROUT IS POURED. The concrete areas to be grouted should not be primed or sealed. Ungrouted exposed concrete surfaces may be sealed to prevent oil penetration.

METAL PREPARATION AND PRIMING

Base plates or rails and other metal surfaces to be grouted should be cleaned to obtain proper adhesion. This is preferably done just prior to grouting. Primer should be used ONLY when a long delay between cleaning and grouting will allow rusting or contamination. Surfaces where a bond is not desired should be protected with heavy coats of wax. FORMING

MasterFlow 648 is fluid and requires forms. Forms are generally wood, the same as used for forming concrete. They should be of sufficient strength, anchored or braced to withstand pressure from the grout and must be "liquid tight". FINISHING AND CLEAN UP

A smooth finish may be obtained by spraying or brushing the surface with Solvent No. 2 approximately 1 hour after the grout is poured. Best results can be obtained by smoothing the surface several times just prior to the hardening of the grout surface. Clean tools and mixer with MasterTop THN 2 . SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

MasterFlow 648 is a three component epoxy grout formulated for industrial and professional use only and must be kept out of the reach of children. These products contain chemicals which may be COMBUSTIBLE and potentially HARMFUL to your health if not stored and used properly. Hazards can be significantly reduced by observing all precautions which are found on material safety data sheets, and product labels. Please read this literature carefully before using product.

STANDARDS Complies with CRD-C 621 ASTM C1107 - Grade C APPLICATION PROCEDURE

PREPARATION

The surface onto which the grout is to be applied should be scabbled to remove laitance and expose aggregate. Do not use bush hammers or similar preparation equipment that can crush the aggregate but leave it in place. The surface must be free of oil, dust, dirt, paint, curing compounds, etc. Soak area to be grouted with water for 24 hours prior to grouting to minimise localised absorption and to assist in the free flow of the grout. Surfaces should be damp but free of standing water. Particular attention should be paid to bolt holes to ensure that these are water-free. Use oil free compressed air to blow out bolt holes and pockets as necessary.

Base plate, bolts, etc. must be clean and free of oil, grease and paint etc. Set and align equipment. If shims are to be removed after the grout has set; lightly grease them for easy removal. Ensure formwork is secure and watertight to prevent movement and leaking during the placing and curing of the grout. The area should be free of excessive vibration. Shut down adjacent machinery until the grout has hardened. In hot weather, base plates and foundations must be shaded from direct sunlight. Bags of grout should be stored in the shade prior to use. In cold weather, the temperature of base plates and foundations should be raised to >10°C.

MIXING: In hot weather use cool water to bring the mixed grout temperature to <30°C. In cold weather use warm water to raise the mixed grout temperature to >10°C. Damp down the inside of the grout mixer with water prior to mixing the initial batch of


MasterFlow 928 . Ensure the mixer is damp but free of standing water. Add the pre-measured quantity of water. Slowly add the MasterFlow 928 , mixing continuously. Mix for at least five minutes until a smooth, uniform, lump free consistency is achieved. MasterFlow Grouts

When aggregate "bulking" is required addition rate for the 5-13mm aggregate should be confirmed by site trials. Typically the addition rate would be between 10-15kg's of clean dry aggregate per 25kg bag of MasterFlow 928 . Add the aggregates to the mixing water in the concrete mixer and then slowly add the MasterFlow 928 powder and mix for 5 minutes until a lump free uniform consistency is achieved - Ideally the slump should be 75-200mm depending upon application requirements PLACING

Lengths of metal strapping laid in the formwork prior to placing may be necessary to assist grout flow over large areas and in compacting and eliminating air pockets. Pour the grout continuously. Maintain a constant hydrostatic head, preferably of at least 15 cm. On the side where the grout has been poured, allow 10 cm clearance between the side of the form and the base plate of the machine. On the opposite side allow 5-10 cm clearance between the formwork and the base plate. MasterFlow grouts are suitable for use with most types of pumping equipment. MasterFlow 928 when bulked with aggregate as above should be placed and compacted by light rodding and tapping of formwork faces only. Mechanical vibration should NOT be utilized. Immediately after MasterFlow 928 grout is placed, cover all exposed grout with clean damp hessian, and keep moist until grout is firm enough to accept a curing membrane. Should the grout shoulders require finishing work, this should be carried out prior to application of the curing membrane. We recommend the use of a curing membrane from our MasterKure range.

SHOULDERS

Due to differences in temperature between the grout under the base plate, and exposed shoulders that are subject to more rapid temperature changes, debonding and / or cracking can occur. Avoid shoulders wherever possible. If shoulders are required they should be firmly anchored with reinforcing to the substrate to prevent debonding. TYPICAL WATER REQUIREMENTS– TABLE 1

STRENGTH DEVELOPMENT

The strength of grout is dependent on many factors which include mixing, water addition, curing, temperature and humidity. The table below gives typical average strengths of MasterFlow 928 at 25°C, when mixed with 4.5 litres (fluid) per 25kg bag. For compressive strength 100mm cubes and flexural strength 40 x 40 x 160mm prisms were used. Compressive

Wet density : approx. 2220kg/m³ BLEED WATER

No bleed water is apparent (ASTM C-232) at recommended water addition rates.


EXPANSION

Tests were made following both ASTM Standard C-878, on the use of expansive cements and Corps of Engineers Standard for grout. Tests made as prescribed by ASTM standard C-878 show an expansion value of about 0.05%. Tests in conformity with Corps of Engineers show an expansion value of 0.3% that is lower than the maximum value (0.4%) fixed by the same standards. Moreover, MasterFlow 928 expansion occurs both in the plastic and in the early hardened state. However, the expansion action of MasterFlow 928 exhausts mainly during the first 12 hours of curing. MODULUS OF ELASTICITY

The static modulus of elasticity, measured by applying a load corresponding to 1/3 of the strength, is approximately 28,000 N/mm² at 28 days. FATIGUE RESISTANCE

Cube samples, produced with MasterFlow 928 and cured for a month, underwent fatigue tests of 2,000,000 pulsing stresses ranging between 20 and 50 N/mm² at a frequency of 500 cycles/min. Tested specimens were undamaged and their compressive strength was higher than that of similar specimens that were not subjected to fatigue tests. BOND TO CONCRETE

Typical direct tensile “pull off” testing indicates a bond to concrete in the region of 2-4Mpa. WORKABILITY

Tests at the fluid consistency performed according to ASTM C939, show compliance with the requirements of CRD-C 621-82. CAPILLARY PORES AND PERMEABILITY

Even under a pressure of 20 atm, water does not penetrate MasterFlow 928 specimens. The permeability factor is calculated to be therefore lower than 1.10-12 cm/sec.

RESISTANCE TO CHEMICAL ATTACK

Thanks to its watertightness, MasterFlow 928 grout is protected against environmental aggressive agents in solution. RESISTANCE TO LOW TEMPERATURE

After 300 freezing and thawing cycles, the modulus of elasticity decreases only 5%. This indicates that MasterFlow 928 is highly resistant to the disrupting action of frost. STORAGE

Store out of direct sunlight, clear of the ground on pallets protected from rainfall. Avoid excessive compaction. Storage life is approximately 12 months when stored as above in original sealed bags. Failure to comply with the recommended storage conditions may result in premature deterioration of the product or packaging. For specific storage advice consult BASF's Technical Services Department. PRECAUTIONS

The temperature of both the grout and elements coming into contact with the grout should be in the range of >10°C to >35°C. Do not use water in an amount or at a temperature that will produce a consistency more than fluid or cause mixed grout to bleed or segregate. MasterFlow 928 should be laid at a minimum thickness of 25mm and to a maximum depth of 80mm. For grouting applications above 80mm consider the use of MasterFlow 980 . For applications below 25mm consult BASF's Technical Services Department for advice. To simulate on-site conditions it is necessary to restrain cubes for the first 24 hours immediately after casting. DO NOT OVERWORK AND AVOID USING MECHANICAL VIBRATION. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD MasterFlow 928 BE RETEMPERED BY THE LATER ADDITION OF WATER. It is essential that a mechanically powered grout mixer is used to obtain the optimum properties.

PLACING

Lengths of metal strapping laid in the formwork prior to placing may be necessary to assist grout flow over large areas and in compacting and eliminating air pockets. Pour the grout continuously. Maintain a constant hydrostatic head, of at least 15 cm. On the side where the grout is to be poured, allow 10 cm clearance between the side of the form and the base plate of the machine. On the opposite side allow at least 10cm clearance between the formwork and the base plate to allow the grout to flow through without entrapping air. MasterFlow grouts are suitable for use with most types of pumping equipment. Immediately after placing MasterFlow 980 grout, cover all exposed grout with clean damp hessian and keep moist until grout is firm enough to accept a curing membrane. We recommend the use of a curing membrane from our MasterKure range. When MasterFlow 980 is used for re-profiling of concrete bored piles prior to application of a waterproofing system, the minimum applied thickness is 25mm for piles less than 1m diameter and the minimum applied thickness is 50mm for piles greater than 1m diameter. SHOULDERS

MasterInject 1320 should be injected through packers using a manual or a powered single component injection pump. Decant the amount of resin required from the unit and close the lid tightly. Frequent exposure to humidity and moisture may cause some skinning on the surface, in the unit. This skin should be removed and discarded before decanting additional resin. The reaction time is affected by both temperature and relative humidity. In conditions of high relative humidity there may be material “skinning” within the pump hopper. Ensure that this “skin” is removed during the pumping process, do NOT allow the skin to be drawn into the pump. When the injection processes is complete empty the pump of any remaining material and thoroughly flush it through with MasterTop THN 2. Remove the solvent and flush the pump with mineral oil leaving the working parts full of oil. Failure to follow the above cleaning procedure may lead to pump or line blockages. Site trials should always be performed prior to commencing the works. SAFETY PROCEDURE

MasterInject 1320 is based on 4,4’ Diphenylmethandiisocyanate (MDI). As with all chemical products, care should be taken during use and storage to avoid contact with eyes mouth, skin and foodstuffs (which can also be tainted with vapour until the product is fully cured or dried). Treat splashes to eyes and skin immediately. If accidentally ingested, seek immediate medical attention. Keep away from children and animals. Reseal containers after use.

MasterKure ® 106

Water based concrete curing compound / bond breaker DESCRIPTION

MasterKure 106 is a solvent free, membrane forming wax emulsion, suitable for spray application to freshly poured concrete. The resultant film retains sufficient moisture in the concrete to ensure full hydration of the cement; essential for optimum strength development. Membrane cured concrete is typically harder and exhibits a dust free surface with a reduced incidence of drying shrinkage cracks. The film can also act as a bond breaker between initial and subsequent concrete pours. PRIMARY USES

As a more effective and economical alternative to hessian and water and polythene curing regimes. Suitable for use on all concrete surfaces. As a bond breaking film for the vertical face of precast bridge segments during match casting. ADVANTAGES

• Eliminates the need for water. • Single application. • Promotes a harder dust free surface. • Cured film is clear and water repellent. • Reduces drying shrinkage. • High curing efficiency. • Reduced labour costs. • Water based. PACKAGING

STANDARDS ASTM C309 Type 1 Class A AASHTO M-148 Type 1 Class A DIRECTIONS FOR USE AS A CURING COMPOUND

The compound should be spray applied as evenly as possible on to the freshly placed concrete. For horizontal surfaces MasterKure 106 should be applied as soon as the initial surface sheen has disappeared from the concrete surface. In the case of formed concrete, the MasterKure 106 should be applied immediately on removal of the formwork. To assist breakdown of the MasterKure 106 film on vertical and formed surfaces, it is essential to dampen down the concrete with clean water prior to application. DIRECTIONS FOR USE AS A BOND BREAKER

The compound should be spray applied to form an even film covering the entire surface against which the subsequent segment will be cast. If necessary more than one coat should be applied. The actual coverage and number of coats will be dependent on texture and porosity of the surface. The recommended application rate when used as a bond breaker is 4 square meters per litre. COVERAGE

The recommended rate of application is 5-6 square metres per litre. This corresponds to that at which MasterKure 106 has been tested, and at which it attains the claimed degree of curing efficiency. In favourable conditions such as shaded interior surfaces, adequate curing can be achieved with extended coverage rates. FILM BREAKDOWN

The time for deterioration of the membrane is dependent on a number of variables, which include film thickness, degree of exposure to weathering, traffic, UV light, and the porosity of the substrate concrete.

MasterLife CI 222 (Formerly known as Rheocrete 222+)

Organic corrosion inhibiting admixture DESCRIPTION

MasterLife CI 222 is a state-of-the-art corrosion inhibiting admixture formulated to inhibit the corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete. MasterLife CI 222 provides two levels of corrosion protection, inhibiting and waterproofing making it the most effective corrosion inhibiting admixture available. ADVANTAGES

MasterLife CI 222 extends the service life of reinforced concrete by slowing the ingress of chlorides and moisture into the concrete and by forming a strong, durable protective film on the reinforcing steel for a second level of corrosion protection. This dual mechanism system makes MasterLife CI 222 effective with all cement factors, as well as in cracked concrete where the elements that cause corrosion have direct access to the reinforcing steel. PACKAGING

MasterLife CI 222 is available in 208 litre drums and bulk if required. STANDARDS

ASTM G-109 HOW IT WORKS

MasterLife CI 222 functions by inhibiting corrosion at its most critical points. MasterLife CI 222 lines the pores of the concrete matrix thus waterproofing and slowing the rate at which chlorides and moisture enter the concrete and denying the corrosion process of its two most important components. MasterLife CI 222 provides additional protection by adsorbing onto the reinforcing steel to form a corrosion resistant protective film. This protective film dramatically slows the corrosion process by preventing chlorides from reacting with the reinforcing steel, and by depriving the corrosion process of moisture and oxygen, thus slowing the rate of corrosion once it begins.

PLASTIC PROPERTIES The plastic properties of concrete are not significantly affected by the use of MasterLife CI 222 SLUMP AND TEMPERATURE DEVELOPMENT

MasterLife CI 222 has no effect on slump or the temperature development profile of concrete. CONCRETE-STEEL BOND STRENGTH

Concrete to steel bond strength is not affected by MasterLife CI 222. CORROSION INHIBITING SYSTEMS

In order to control corrosion in steel reinforced concrete, the ACI Building Code (ACl 318) requires certain design considerations, such as limiting the water-cementitious materials ratio; providing adequate concrete cover over reinforcing steel; and limiting the initial chloride ion content of the concrete. Additionally, construction practices should be such that a dense, void-free concrete is obtained. In addition to the elements of good concrete practice required by the ACI Building Code, BASF recommends a corrosion inhibiting system that inhibits corrosion at multiple levels for maximum protection. The basis for this system can be established through the use of MasterLife CI 222 which restricts the ingress of chlorides and moisture and slows the rate of corrosion by forming a protective film on the reinforcing steel. Additional protection can be attained through the use of high-range water-reducing admixtures to provide adequate placeability and consolidation at low water-cement ratios and/or the use of silica fume admixtures to reduce concrete permeability.

NOTE




Tel: +971 4 8090800 Fax: +971 4 8851002


DOSAGE

MasterLife CI 222 is recommended for use at a dosage rate of 5 litre / m³ of concrete for all applications and corrosion environments. MasterLife CI 222 dosed at 5 litre / m³ is formulated to provide optimum corrosion protection of reinforced concrete structures in severe corrosive environments, and therefore provides excellent corrosive protection in less severe corrosion environments as well. MasterLife CI 222 is formulated for use at a single dosage in order to eliminate the confusion and uncertainties related to determining the severity of the corrosive environment and predicting the chloride exposure of the structure. DIRECTIONS FOR USE

MasterLife CI 222 may be added with concrete batch water. It should not be mixed with any other admixtures prior to being introduced into the concrete mixer. The use of this admixture does not require changes in normal batching procedures. WATCHPOINTS

Trials must be carried out to ensure mix design meets specified performance criteria. TEMPERATUE PRECAUTION

Store at ambient temperatures above 2°C but not exceeding 52°C. Precautions should be taken to protect MasterLife CI 222 from freezing. If product freezes, thaw and reconstitute by mild mechanical agitation. Do not use pressurised air for agitation.

NON-CHLORIDE

MasterLife CI 222 will not initiate or promote corrosion of reinforcing steel embedded in concrete, prestressed concrete or concrete placed on galvanised steel floor and roof systems. Neither calcium chloride nor any chloride-based ingredients are used in the manufacture of MasterLife CI 222 corrosion inhibiting admixture. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

MasterLife CI 222 is not a fire or health hazard. Spillages should be washed down immediately with cold water. For further information refer to the material safety data sheet. NOTE
