EvoTek Plus
High-Range Water Reducing Admixture
JUMP TO
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Riteks EvoTek™ Plus is a faster setting high-range water-reducing (HRWR) admixture for concrete utilizing polycarboxylate technology. It is designed to facilitate the placing and finishing of pre-stressed and precast concrete that is highly flowable and workable with faster setting characteristics and higher early-age strengths. EvoTek™ Plus is ideally suited for use in self consolidating concrete mixes. EvoTek™ Plus reduces water content (12-40%) needed for a given workability.
Other Names & Identifiers
- Polycarboxylate HRWR
- PCE HRWR
APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS
APPLICATIONS
APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS- Dosage: Rates will vary depending on the materials used, ambient condition and the requirements of a specific project.
- For best results, each admixture must be introduced separately into the concrete mix.
- EvoTek Plus does not contain calcium chloride or any chloride-based components and is non-corrosive to reinforced, galvanized floor/roof systems or prestressing steel.
- Do not use with admixtures containing betanaphthalene sulfonate.
FEATURES & ADVANTAGES
APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS- Improves quality of concrete by decreasing water-cementitious ratio while maintaining slump life during extended mixing times
- Increases compressive and flexural strengths
- Reduces cracking, creep shrinkage, surface bleeding and segregation
- Improves finishability, workability, pumpability and bond strength to the steel
- Faster Set Times -- works well with slower setting cements
- Faster Early-Age, Tensioning, and Stripping Strengths
- Increased productivity
Recommendations
APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS- Dosage Rate: 2 to 12 fluid ounces per 100 pounds of cementitious material.
- Due to variations in concrete materials, job site conditions and applications, dosages outside of the recommended range may be required.
- In such cases, contact your local Riteks Construction Chemical Representative.
