Slump Retain 240
JUMP TO
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Riteks Slump Retain 240 is a revolutionary new technology based on significant advances in the admixture industry. When used as part of an admixture system, it provides slump retention without retardation. Slump Retain 240 gives the concrete producer the ability to immediately create the ideal admixture system for fluctuating regional raw materials, environmental conditions and project requirements.
APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS
APPLICATIONS
APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS-
Concrete with varying slump requirements
-
Concrete mixtures utilizing supplementary cementitious materials
-
Concrete where increased stability, durability and high flowability are required
-
Concrete requiring the production of self consolidating concrete (SCC) mixtures
FEATURES & ADVANTAGES
APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS- Workability retention without retardation
- Flexible levels of workability retention by adjusting dosage
- Improved early and late age compressive strengths
- Promotes greater consistency of concrete workability at the jobsite
- Promotes consistency in compressive strengths via minimized jobsite addition of water
- Minimizes re-dosing of high range water reducing admixture at the jobsite
- Consistent air entrainment
- Fewer rejected loads and better customer satisfaction due to consistent quality of concrete
Recommendations
APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS
Recommended at a dosage rate of 2 to 12 fl. oz. per 100 lbs. of cementitious material. It can be added with the initial batch water or as a delayed addition. Note: Slump Retain 240 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 beta-naphthalene sulfonate.
