DeCAL VMAP
DeCAL VMAP is a product used to enhance the coherence of concrete components, thereby preventing the segregation and settlement of mortar and aggregate from the concrete. It is recommended for use in pumpable concrete, especially when pumped over long distances under high pressure. DeCAL VMAP is highly effective in reducing bleeding and generally enhances the structure of the concrete.

DeCAL VMAP is an ideal additive for cementitious applications, designed to prevent segregation. Use of DeCAL VMAP allows concrete to be pumped at high pressure without the risk of segregation.; DeCAL VMAP prevents the settlement of mortar and aggregate from mixed concrete and also prevents bleeding.; DeCAL VMAP also is highly effective in this regard with self-compacting concrete.; DeCAL VMAP can decrease a mixture sensitivity to variations in sand and aggregate, giving a more predictable result, without a delay to setting time.; DeCAL VMAP is also highly compatible with Devine Chemical's range of superplasticisers.; Recommended addition level: 2 - 3% DeCAL VMAP based on PCE based admixture. Dosage is however use dependent so trials may be necessary.
