About Fosroc Auramix 200 QCDA 1705 PCE Based Admixture 200 KG
Main Uses
Auramix 200 is a high performance super plasticizer suitable for low and high grade concrete and intended for applications where high water reduction and long workability retention are required.
Auramix 200 developed to use in:
- Long workability retention concrete.
- Pumpable concrete
Advantages
- Low viscosity admixture suitable for pumping different grades of concrete to greater heights.
- Suitable for concrete having cement replacements and low water cement ratio.
- Provides higher strength without increase in cement content or reduction in workability. Ideal for precast concrete production.
- Reduce rate of workability loss normally associated with super plasticiser. Reduces shrinkage cracking because of lower water cement ratio. Makes the concrete water impermeable.
- Better resistance to Carbonation.
- Reduce Shrinkage and Creep.
- Increase Durability.
