Arabian Chemical Industries ISOLA PSM

Other characteristics

Features

Good Cohesion, High Durability, Water Reducing

Product Type

Concrete Admixture

Dosage

Depending on mix design requirement, ISOLA PSM can be added at the rate of 0.30-1 liter PER 50 Kg. bag cement (0.6-2.0 liters per 100 Kg.). When designing mixes for use with ISOLA PSM, it is recommended to make trial batchesto determine optimum dosage. As a guide for designing mixes, ACI 211.1 or 211.2 recommendations should befollowed. ISOLA PSM is also compatible with ISOPLAS BT water-reducing, retarding admixture.. Overdosing - An overdosing of the recommended amount of ISOLA PSM may result in set retardation but it has been known that final properties will not be affected as long as the concrete is placed, consolidated, and cured properly in accordancewith generally accepted concreting practice such as those recommended in ACI.

Packing

In 210 liter drum or 1000 Liter Bulk.

Addition

ISOLA PSM can be added at the batch plant or at the site. However, the latter method of addition will result in morelonger workability and placement time. For central mix type operations, approximately 80% of the total amount mixingwater is added to the dry ingredients. Mix for 30 seconds then add ISOLA PSM simultaneously with the remaining20% mixing water. For 1 cubic meter batch, total mixing time from the time cement comes in contact with water should not be less than 100 seconds.

Advantages

ISOLA PSM produces low water-cement ratio concrete and consequently high strengths.; ISOLA PSM produces flowing, self-leveling concrete with better than normal strengths.; ISOLA PSM will produce waterproof concrete due to water-cement ratio attainable in the range of less than 0.4; ISOLA PSM will reduce cement content substantially without workability or strength loss.; ISOLA PSM aids in concrete placement and consequently reduced labor cost and faster completion time of construction.; ISOLA PSM reduces segregation and bleeding in plastic concrete.
