Riteks VMA 42 is a viscosity modifying admixture designed to enable the production of self-compacting concrete. When added to the mix, concrete treated with Riteks VMA 42 is more stable and resistant to segregation.

Features and Benefits

• Increases the viscosity and cohesiveness of the concrete mix
• Reduces concrete bleed water
• Reduces segregation in high water cementitious and high slump mixes
• Aids in concrete mix stability with gap-graded aggregates
• Can be introduced at the batch plant or jobsite
• Enables the production of self compacting concrete
• Normal setting characteristics throughout the dosage range
• Enhances the appearance of finished surfaces
• Easy to disperse

Applications

• Lean concrete mixes with minimum cementitious contents
• Mixes requiring reduction or elimination of bleed water
• Highly fluid self-consolidating concrete mixes that require the use of viscosity. Aids in concrete mix stability with gap-graded aggregates modifier to eliminate segregation
• Mixes requiring reduction or elimination of bleed water. Enables the production of self compacting concrete
