Overview

KingAdd 55RP is formulated from selected polymers specially designed to enable the water content of the concrete to perform more effectively. This effect can be used to improve workability, to increase ultimate strengths or to facilitate a reduction in the cement content while sustaining mix properties. KingAdd 55RP has retarding property, this effect can be used overcome transportation delay problems and where long setting time is required.

Applications

  • Long concrete deliveries
  • Hot weather concreting
  • Where high workability retention and retardation are required
  • To produce high quality concrete of improved durability and water tightness
  • To improve cohesion in concrete mixes

Advantages

  • Improved workability, reduces placing and compaction problems
  • Cold joints can be avoided by extending initial and final concrete setting time
  • Higher strength with same cement content
  • Cement saving without affecting strength
  • More durable concrete as a result of reduction in permeability and lower water to cement ratio
  • COMPATIBILITY KingAdd 55RP can be used with all types of Portland cement and cement replacement materials. KingAdd 55RP is compatible with other KINGKRETE admixtures used in the same concrete mix
  • If more than one type of admixture is to be used in concrete mix, they must be dispensed to the concrete separately
  • STANDARDS KingAdd 55RP complies with ASTM C494, Type B and D and with BS5075, Part 1
