HIGH PERFORMANCE ACCELERATING SILICA FUME GEL
DESCRIPTION
PUMKRET is an advanced concrete admixture used for designing high performance concrete and multipurpose concrete mixtures. PUMKRET is based on a highly pozzolanic mineral material which significantly reduces water absorption and permeability of concrete, besides increasing workability and improving pumpability.
PUMKRET comprises the following chemicals:
This advanced-technology product meets the requirements of the following standards:
ASTM C1202
BS EN 12390-8, BS 1881-122
DOSAGE
The optimum dosage of PUMKRET can be determined by trials in the site. Depending on concrete mix design (concrete type, workability, compressive strength, sizes and types of aggregates, cement content, water/cement ratio, ambient temperature and concreting conditions), a dosage between 3.0 and 8.0 percent by cement weight is recommended.
Note: when using PUMKRET, water-cement ratio must be considered around 0.40
For using other ranges of dosage, contact ABADGARAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP Technical Services Department.
Please contact our engineering office in case of simultaneous use of more than one admixture.
DIRECTION OF USE
PUMKRET can be added to concrete in two ways:
1-PUMKRET could be added to ready-mix concrete before placing concrete.
2-PUMKRET could be added to a part or whole of concrete mixing water then added to the concrete mix.
