Chemplast P- 200
Water Reducing, Retarder Concrete Admixture
________________________________________________________
Product Chemplast P- 200 is used as a concrete plasticizer-
Description retarder where slump retaining properties are
required.
__________________________________________________________________
Uses Chemplast P- 200 is used to produce slump
retention concrete in applications such as:
- Ready mixed concrete.
- Elevated concrete temperatures
- Difficult placing conditions
- Long transport distances
- Reduction in water cement ratio.
__________________________________________________________________
Advantages Chemplast P- 200 provides the following
advantages:
- Longer slump retention at higher temperatures.
- Increased ultimate strength
- Reduced shrinkage and creep
- Better surface finish
________________________________________________________
Test Standards Chemplast P- 200 complies with ASTM C 494,
Types A & D.

Density at 25C Approximately 1.18 0.01 Kg / liter
__________________________________________________________________
Chloride Content Nil (EN 934)
__________________________________________________________________
Dosage 0.3 0.8% by weight of cement. It is advisable to
carry out trial mixes to establish the exact dosage
rate required.
__________________________________________________________________
Depending Chemplast P 200 is added to the gauging water
prior to its addition to the dry mix.
__________________________________________________________________
Concrete Placing The standard concreting practices (production as
well as placing) must be followed when using
Chemplast P 200.
__________________________________________________________________
Curing Fresh concrete must be cured properly, especially at
higher than normal temperatures in order to prevent
plastic and drying shrinkage. Use Chemsol curing
agents preferably.
__________________________________________________________________
Compatibility Chemplast P 200 can be combined with other
concrete admixtures. It is also compatible with
sulfate resistant cement.
_________________________________________________________________
Cleaning Clean all equipment and tools with water
immediately after use.
__________________________________________________________________
Remarks When accidental overdosing occurs, the set
retarding effect increases. During this period the
concrete must be kept moist in order to prevent
premature drying out. Additional amount of air
entertainment may also occur.
