Description
ADVA Cast 512 is a polymer-based, high range water-reducing admixture that is specially designed for producing superior high early strength concrete in precast applications. ADVA Cast 512 contains no added chloride. It is formulated to comply with specifications for chemical admixtures for concrete: ASTM C 494 and Type F; BS 5075: Part 3: 1985.
Product Advantages :
• Superior Early Strength Enhancement — ADVA Cast 512 accelerates cement hydration at a very early stage.
• Together with the very efficient dispersion effect, ADVA Cast 512 achieves very high early strength for the production of precast structural elements.
• High Workability — ADVA Cast 512 is ideal for precast applications, where high early strength is desired, and where.
• High workability will aid faster placement and improved mix consolidation.
• Superior Surface Finish — ADVA Cast 512 produces concrete with superior surface finish, without stickiness, tearing or spotty set characteristics.
• Superior Water Reduction — With up to 40% water reduction possible, ADVA Cast 512 is highly effective in low water-cement concrete, producing high strength and high early strength concrete.
• Optimise Precast Concrete Production — The accelerated set times of ADVA Cast 512 may reduce or eliminate the need for heat curing to achieve high early strength concrete. The earlier removal of forms leads to reduced cycle times, faster mould turnaround, reduced total costs and increased productivity..
