MERQUA

DOSAGE
The optimum dosage of MERQUA can be determined by trials in the site. 
Depending on concrete mix design (sizes and types of aggregates, cement content, water/cement ratio,
ambient temperature and concreting conditions), a dosage of between 0.45 and 1.2 percent by weight of cement or cementitious material is recommended.
For use with other range of dosage, contact ABADGARAN GROUP Technical Services Department.

DIRECTION OF USE
1-MERQUA could be added to a part of concrete mixing water then added to the concrete mix.
2-MERQUA could be added to the concrete mix during the mixing cycle at the same time as the water or the aggregate or it could be added to ready-mix concrete before placing concrete.
3-Admixtures must be weighed carefully.

ADVANTAGES

• Reduces water-cement ratio up to 20%.
• Increases workability and workability retention of concrete.
• Improves pumpability of concrete.
• It can be used with all types of Portland cement.
• Improves concrete consistency.
• Prevents creep and shrinkage of concrete.
• Considerably reduces permeability.
• Increases the compressive strength of concrete.
• Use simultaneously with silica fume, fly ash and other pozzolanic materials.
   

APPLICATION

• Enables production and transportation of concrete.
• Ready mix concrete.
• Slabs, foundations, columns, shear and retaining walls, deck bridges, etc.
• Industrial heavy floors.
• Design of concrete mixes with crushed aggregates.
