StenMix® HIPA 431QC is a polycarboxylic ether (PC) based, high-range water-reducing, high-performance superplasticizing concrete admixture. It conforms to the requirements of EN 934-2 Table 3 and ASTM C 494 Type F.
Areas of Use
StenMix® HIPA 431QC creates a void-free, smooth-surfaced concrete mass in densely reinforced foundation, wall and column concrete that requires flowable concrete.
It can be used in high-strength precast and prefabricated concrete production and pre-stressed concrete applications, as well as in work requiring early formwork removal. Added to ready-mix concrete, it provides excellent workability.
Features & Advantages
- Provides high-range water reduction to create a void-free, smooth-surfaced concrete mass
- Eliminates the risk of segregation
- Reduces the amount of vibration required
- Increases impermeability by reducing mixing water and voids in hardened concrete
- Allows the concrete to set in normal time without a retarding effect
- Reduces the water requirement of concrete by 15-30% at the appropriate dosage
