StenMix® HIPA 480 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 480 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 pre-stressed concrete applications and in work requiring early formwork removal. Added to ready-mix concrete it provides excellent workability and maintains the consistency and workability of fresh concrete for a long time, even in hot weather.
Features & Advantages
- Provides high-range water reduction to create a void-free, smooth-surfaced concrete mass
- Keeps concrete workable for a long time even in hot weather thanks to enhanced slump retention
- Eliminates the risk of segregation and reduces the vibration required
- Recommended in concrete design for applications requiring high strength
- 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
