TECHNICAL DATA FOR BS-17 3PR
Water Reducing Super Plasticizer for Ready Mix Concrete with Retention.

Description of BS-17 3PR Recommended for

BS-17 3PR is a chloride free water reducing and super 1. Commercial Construction & Large Projects
plasticizing admixing agent for concrete. It generates
high workability to the concrete mixes, allowing large 2. RMC Concrete Units
pours of high quality and difficult form-work casting. It
is suggested to be used when large water reduction in 3. Batching Plants at Sites
concrete mixes is needed while maintaining normal
workability with river sand mixes. 4. Production of better and denser Concrete
casting
Suggested for use when there is a delay of above 45
minutes for concrete pumping or large distance
supplies on RMC General Advantages and Benefits

Benefits of using BS-17 3P for Concreting Processes
1. BS-17 3PR increases concreting operation
efficiency,
2. Helps in reducing cost by improving pumping
efficiency
3. Provides optimum flow and homogeneity.
4. It dramatically improves concrete consistency
and flow ability without needing extra water.
5. It reduces the internal particle friction and
thixotropic properties of the mix to a
minimum without creating any risk of
segregation, thus improving the pumping and
pouring operations more efficient.
6. It controls bleed in the mix & suitable when
retention above 45 minutes is required
Benefits of BS-17 3PR for Pre-Cast Industry
1. Use of BS-17 3PR ensures better quality of
concrete casting
2. It makes the concrete more water tight and
helps in waterproofing
3. Reduces Pin-Holes and Honey Combing in
Concrete mass that is generally there in
normal concrete
4. Makes the vibration process more effective
5. It allows ready mix concrete for better mix
designs
6. It Improves appearance of finish on placed
concrete.
Technology in BS-17 3PR
BS-17 3P is a second generation Superplasticizer
developed on proprietary formulation with technology
based on Sodium Naphthalene Formaldehyde,
Lignosulphate.
This technology of BS-17 3P works on a mechanism
that improves the cement molecule dispersion in the
concrete mix matrix that allows for water reduction
and slump retention for a longer period.

1. BS-17 3PR, is to be used as a water reducing

agent for longer duration of slump retention
and doesn’t negatively effect the final
strengths while maintaining good workability
for longer duration.

To ensure proper Performance of the system, make
sure that the mixing is done for at least 5 minutes. 02 Admixed 0.8% 300 0.55 16

17 3PR shall last 60 to 120 minutes after the concrete
has been admixed.

If more workability time is required, additionally
dosage may be used to allow for longer periods of
placement without any loss of slump. You may contact
our office for guidance on using retarding admixtures.
Note: The figures given here are to be considered as a general
