R
High Range Water Reducing, Super Plasticiser and Set Retarding Concrete Admixture.
Standard Specification:
• WR.SP.R is a super plasticiser Complies with ASTM C 494 type G (subseqenty types A3), EN934-2
and ES 1899.

Description:
• WR.SP.R is a light brown ready to use aqueous solution, based on organic compounds.

Fields of Use:
• WR.SP.R can be used with all types of cement to achieve the following properties.
• To delay and control the setting of concrete up to 20 hours, specifically in hot weather concreting.
• To produce concrete with high, early and final strength, which is used to produce concrete for bridges,
factories, pre-cast and prestressed concrete elements.
• To reduce consumption of cement without loss of workability or strength.
Advantages:
• Prevents honey-combing in the case of high percentage of reinforcement.
• Is a high quality super - plasticiser with retarding effect.
• Is chloride free.
• Can be used with higher dosages to allow for maximum water reduction without any harmful side effects.
• Enables highest reduction in cement and secures higher strengths.
• Produces self-levelling concrete and mortar.
• Minimizes shrinkage and produces concrete that is virtually non shrink.
• Increases both early and final strengths.
Technical Data :( at 25°C)
Base Sodium ligno sulphonate + Napthalin sulphonate
Appearance Brown liquid.
Density 1.21 ±0.01 kg/1
Chloride content Nil
Air entrainment Nil
Compatibility All types of Portland cement

Directions for Use:

• WR.SP.R is preferably added to concrete during the mixing process or to the mixing water. Rate of
Use :

• Normal dosage: from 0.15% to 2% by weight of cement to increase workability without adding extra
water or otherwise, to increase compression strength and keeping the same workability.
• Dosage could be up to 3% by weight of cement, In all cases site trials are strongly recommended for
accurate determination of the dosage according to the type and amount of cement, type of aggregates ,
required concrete slump and targeted compression strength.

Safety Precautions:
• WR.SP.R is non-flammable and non-toxic.
• Wash any splashes to the eyes immediately with water.
• For accidental release use an absorbent inert material as sand, then collect up and place in suitable container.

Storage:
• 18 months under suitable storage conditions.

Packages:
• 20 kg, and 200 kg.
