COSTARMIX 200MH
High Performance Water Reducing and Retarding Super
Plasticizing Admixture with Higher initial Slump and Retention Time
Description COSTARMIX 200MH is high performance water-reducing admixture with
higher reten on me designed to produce high slump concrete with
improved workability, durability and also reduces permeability.
COSTARMIX 200MH is a ready-to-use liquid which is dispensed into the
concrete together with the mixing water. The plas cizing effect and water
reduc on are higher if the admixture is added to the concrete a er 70-
80% of the mixing water has been added.
Advantages
High ini al slump and reten on me
Improved workability, air entrainment and pumping proper es
It is suitable for use in produc on of flowing concrete for easier
construc on with quicker placing and compac on without
increasing water content.
Improved compressive and flexural strength of the concrete both at
early and final stage.
Reduced dimensions of long term shrinkage and creep. Also minimizes
COSTARMIX 200MH

risk of segrega on and bleeding

Chloride-free and suitable for pre-stressing
Protec on of reinforcement steel against detrimental water-borne
a ack
Reduces the need for job site adjustment of slump and workability
Area of Use To provide excellent strength at early ages and major increases in
strength at all ages by significantly reducing water demand in a
concrete mix.
Costarmix 200MH is used to produce various ranges of concrete such
as ready-mix, pumped concrete, microsilica concrete etc.
Used to produce durable and workable concrete with lower total water
content
Typical Dosage Op mum dosage should always be determined by trials using the
materials and condi ons that will be exposed in use to meet specific
requirements. Typical dosage for Costarmix 200MH is within the range of
0.6kg - 0.75kg to 50kg of cemen ous material.
Technical
Details Appearance Brown Liquid

Chloride Content Nil to BS 5075/BS: EN934

Specific Gravity 1.18@25⁰C

•Air Entrainment •Less than 2% addi onal air is entrained

at normal dosages

Overdosing An overdose of above the recommended level of admixture may result in

high workability, slight increase in air entrainment and retarda on of
se ng me. The ul mate strength of the concrete will not be adversely
affected and will generally be higher than for normal concrete if properly
COSTARMIX 200MH

placed and cured.

Par cularly suitable for precast concrete and other high early strength
requirements.
Dispensing The measured quan ty of Costarmix 200MH should be added along with
the gauging water. For best results, add Costarmix 200MH in the last
phase a er pre-we ng the mix with 70-80% of the total water required.
Spillages Spillages of product should be absorbed onto sand, earth or vermiculite
and transferred to suitable containers. Remnants should be hosed down
with large quan es of water.
