Product Description
DARATARD® 92 admixture is an aqueous dark brown solution of selected hydroxylated organic compounds. It is ready-to-use since the ingredients are factory pre-mixed in exact proportions to minimise handling, eliminate mistakes and guesswork. Daratard 92 is formulated to comply with the chemical admixture specification for concrete: SS EN 934-1: 2008.
One litre weighs approximately 1.13kg ± 0.02kg.
Application
Daratard 92 provides better slump retention than normal retarding admixtures, and retards the initial and final set of concrete throughout the recommended dosage range. In the recommended dosage range, Daratard 92 also gives water reduction of typically 8% to 12%.
Daratard 92 is a water reducer/ retarder that provides the initial water reduction and extends the set time of the concrete to facilitate transportation and concrete placement.
Daratard 92 admixture is recommended for use in all concrete where superior workability, extended setting times and pumpability quality are desired in applications, e.g., hot weather concreting application, large volume concrete pours.
Product Advantages
- Improved working time for placing concrete with better slump retention.
- Extended setting time to facilitate sufficient delivery, placement, vibration or compaction time.
- Increased compressive, flexural and bonding strength with less concrete mix water.
- Better pumpability, finishability and concrete appearance with improved plasticity and workability.
- Reduced tendency to bleeding and segregation.
- Better cost economics in concrete production for a given strength and slump.
- Reduced water permeability to make concrete more watertight, thus improving concrete durability.
Compatibility with Other Admixtures
Daratard 92 admixture is compatible in concrete with other admixtures from GCP Applied Technologies. Daratard 92 admixture can be used alone as a single admixture or in combination with other admixtures to achieve cost-effective customised performance. If used in combination with other admixtures, each admixture should be added separately
