Arabian Chemical Industries ISOPLAS BT
Arabian Chemical Industries ISOPLAS BT is a liquid solution of modified ligno sulfonic acid which is free of any chloride ions. It is waterreducing, plasticizing, set retarding admixture for concrete. It provides a more plastic and cohesive mix in the fresh concrete, with better durability, reduced shrinkage and less permeability. ISOPLAS BT is compatible with mixes containing Type 1 and sulfate-resistant cement.

- Dosage
ISOPLAS BT is added to concrete at the rate of 0.6 – 1 liter per 100 kg cement depending on the degree of the water reduction and plasticizing and set retardation required. Overdosing may result in extended retardation but ultimate strength characteristic is not affected. For a given setting time, water reduction and strength requirements, trial mixes should be carried out to determine optimum dosage.

- Packing
- ISOPLAS BT is packed in 210 liter drum or bulk.
- Advantages
Up to 12% water reduction with same slump compared to no-admixture concrete.; Does not entrain air in fresh concrete.; Increased strength while maintaining same cement content and workability.; Increased workability while maintaining same water content.; Reduced cement content while maintaining same slump without loss in target strength.; Better cohesion and finishing properties than plain, no-admixture concrete.; Compatible with ISOLA admixture such as superplasticizers and air entraining agents.
- Dispensing
Approximately 70% of the total amount of mixing water is added to the dry ingredients while mixing for a minimumof 45 seconds.. ISOPLAS BT is then added simultaneously with the remaining 30% water and mixed further until homogeneous in appearance.
- Shelf LIfe
Twelve months in original container stored in warehouse condition.
- Application
ISOPLAS BT is used in concrete of all classes. It is used in ready-mixed, job site mixed and lightweight concrete.
