AGSR (ADMIXTURE) |
|
AGSR is a special formulation containing Naphthalene Sulphonic Acid
Formaldehyde condensates with other chemicals. It imparts super
plasticizing effect and enables substantial water reduction in the
concrete.
|
|
The main uses are |
|
a) Mass concrete
preparations.
b) Ready mixed concrete.
c) Long distance transport.
d) Casting in hot weather. |
|
Advantages |
|
a) High
workability for longer durations.
b) Lower pumping pressure.
c) Higher compression strength. |
|
Direction for Use |
|
Trials were carried out repeatedly with the following composition. |
|
Cement
|
: |
8.00 kgs. |
|
Gravel 10mm |
: |
10.25 kgs. |
|
Gravel 20mm |
: |
16.70 kgs. |
|
Sand |
: |
20.00 kgs. |
|
Water |
: |
4.70 kgs. |
|
Admixture AGSR |
: |
32.00 ML* |
|
|
* The quantity of admixture is ascertained by conducting trials
since cement
and sand in the formulations vary. |
|
Initial slump |
: |
Total Collapse |
|
Final slump after 1 hour |
: |
100 - 150MM |
|
|
Compression strength is also increased considerably when admixture
AGSR is used in the concrete formulations and the results are highly
satisfactory. |

AGSR on using in the concrete mixture facilitate in retaining water
cement ratio on standing which will help in transporting the ready
mixture to the places of
requirements. |
|
Recommended dosage for 50 kgs. of Cements |
|
Minimum
Quantity required is 200 ML of AGSR
admixture. |
|
Precaution |
|
Excess quantity of
admixture should not be used since it may affect the initial setting
time. |
