WATER REDUCING / SET RETARDING / PLASTICIZING CONCRETE ADMIXTURE

ARSTEP 85 S Series

ARSTEP 85 S is a water reducing, set retarding midrange plasticizer that decreases water/cement ratio to increase workability and mechanical properties of concrete while retarding the setting time of the concrete in hot weather conditions.

Use guidance

From selection
to application.

01

Application

Aggregates and the binder (cement-silica fume-fly ash-blast furnace slag) should be mixed until obtaining a homogenous mixture. After adding 70% of mixing water into the dry mixture, ARSTEP 85 S should be added into the rest of water and should be mixed properly. Warning: Concrete mix design and admixture dosage should be determined by laboratory tests according to the concrete class and properties.

02

Dosage

ARSTEP 85 S is used 0,5-1,0% of total binder weight.
