- Dosage
Depending on mix design requirement, ISOPLAS PSG can be added at the rage of 0.5 liter to 1.5 liter per 100 kg cement. When designing mixes for use with ISOPLAS PSG, it is recommended to make trial batches to determine optimum dosage. As a guide for designing mixes, ACI 211 or 211.2 recommendations should be followed.. Overdosing - An overdose of the recommended amount of ISOPLAS PSG may result in set retardation but final properties will not be affected as long as the concrete is placed, consolidated, and cured properly in accordance with generally accepted concreting practice such as those recommended in ACI.

- Packing
- In 200 liter drum or 1000 Liter bulk.
- Addition
ISOPLAS PSG can be added at the batch plant or at the site. However, the latter method of addition will result in more longer workability and placement time. For central mix type operation, charge all dry material into the mixing drum followed by approximately 80% of the mixing water. Mix for 30 seconds, add ISOPLAS PSG simultaneously with the remaining 20% mixing water. For 3 cubic meter batch, total mixing time from the time cement comes in contact with water should not be less than 100 seconds.
- Advantages
ISOPLAS PSG produce low water-cement ratio concrete and consequently high strengths.; ISOPLAS PSG produces flowing, self-leveling concrete with higher than normal strengths.; ISOPLAS PSG will produce waterproof concrete due to low water-cement ratio.; ISOPLAS PSG will reduce cement content substantially without workability or strength loss.; ISOPLAS PSG aids in concrete placement and consequently reduce labor cost and fast completion time of construction.; ISOPLAS PSG reduces segregation and bleeding in plastic concrete.
- Shelf LIfe
Twelve months in original container stored in warehouse condition below 32 0 Celsius ambient temperature.

- Safety and Health
Chemicals should always be handled with caution. Although non-toxic, ISOPLAS PSG may cause irritation to some people who are sensitive. Always use rubber hand gloves and eye protection when handling chemicals. Accidental splashes to the skin and eyes should be immediately with water. If eye irritation persist, seek medical attention.
