Mycrosp – L100 Polymers

– L100 is based on SL Polymers and supplied as a brown liquid instantly dispersible in water. MYCRO-SP-L100 has been specially formulated to give high water reductions without loss of workability or to produce high quality concrete of reduced permeability.

MYCRO-SP-L100 Superplasticizers are chemical additives that improve concrete's fluidity by reducing the amount of water needed. They are surfactants and they confer Negative Charge on individual Cement particles such that they are kept in a more Dispersed or Suspended state due to interparticle repulsion hence accounting for the Mobility of the particles. They work by reducing the surface tension between water and cement particles, which causes the particles to form a less open structure. This structure requires less water to fill spaces, which increases the strength of the concrete.

Where to use:

➢ Cold Weather Construction

➢ Precast Concrete Production

➢ Rapid Repair Work

➢ Airport Runways, Highways or Roads Applications

➢ Winter Sports Facilities

➢ High-Performance Concrete

➢ Emergency Repairs like after a natural disaster

➢ Thin Overlays and Toppings

Features of MYCRO-SP-L100 Superplasticizer Compounds:

➢ Improve workability: MSP-L100 allow for a reduced water-to-cement ratio without

sacrificing workability.

➢ Increase strength: It reduce the water-to-cement ratio, which increases the strength

of the concrete.

➢ Improve durability: It help produce concrete with a lower porosity, which makes it

more resistant to compression.

➢ Improve surface finish: MSP-L100 help produce concrete with a better surface finish.

➢ Improve adhesion: It help improve the bond strength and adhesion of concrete to surfaces.

➢ Prevent cracking: It help prevent concrete from cracking.

➢ Produce self-consolidating concrete: It allow for the production of concrete that flows and levels itself.

Method of Application

The optimum dosage is best determined by site trials with the concrete mix which enables the effects of workability, strength gain or cement reduction to be measured. Site trials with MSP-L100 should always be compared with mix containing no admixture. As a guide, a dosage range of 0.6 to 1.4% weight of cement is normally recommended. An over dose of double the recommended amount of MSP-L100 will result in very high workability and may cause extension of initial and final setting times. However, the ultimate compressive strength will not be impaired.

Advantages

➢ Allow the production of high strength concrete without excessive cement contents

➢ Use in production of flowing concrete permits easier construction with quicker

placing and

➢ compaction and reduced labour costs without increasing water content

➢ Chloride free, safe for use in prestress and reinforced concrete with increased strength

➢ Improved quality and improved cohesion properties

➢ Improved surface finish

➢ Improved cohesion and particle dispersion minimizes segregation and bleeding and

➢ improves pumpability

Precautions & Limitations

➢ Do not add MSP-L100 directly to dry cement & aggregate mix.

➢ Maintain water-cement ratio as low as possible.

➢ Do not increase the dosage of MSP-L100 than the recommendation.

Shelf Life

➢ Best before 2 years from the date manufacture when in sealed pack and stored under

proper condition.

➢ Store in a cool & dry place.

Health & Safety

➢ Use rubber hand gloves & safety goggles, while using MSP-L100

➢ In case of contact with skin, wash with plenty of water.

➢ Keep out of reach of children
