MS-5

DOSAGE

The optimum dosage of MS-5 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 of between 3.0 and 10.0 percent by weight of cement is recommended.

For use with other range of dosage, contact ABADGARAN Technical Services Department.

Note: please contact our engineering office in case of simultaneously use of more than one admixture.

DIRECTION OF USE

MS-5 can be added to concrete in two ways:

1-MS-5 could be added to ready-mix concrete before placing concrete.

2-MS-5 could be added to a part or whole of concrete mixing water then added to the concrete mix.

• Reduces water-cement ratio.
• Reduces cement content in concrete.
• Increases workability and provides excellent slump retention of concrete.
• Increases flexural, tensile and compressive strength of concrete.
• Improves pumpability of concrete and reducing depreciation of concreting equipments.
• Improves concrete consistency.
• Enables economic mix designs to be achieved when special conditions such as chemicals attack, dynamic load, etc.
• Considerably reduces permeability.
• Increases durability of concrete.
• Increases the abrasion resistance of concrete.
• Reduces the risk of cracking in concrete.

• Produces High Strength Concrete (HSC) in special conditions (high dynamic loads).
• Produces non-osmosis concrete for the regions exposed to chemicals attack.
• Reinforced  and non-reinforced concrete.
• Dams, water and wastewater treatment, bridges, channels, etc.
• Hot weather concreting.

• Shelf life: 1 year in the original package.
• Storage condition: should be protected from direct sunlight and frost. Keep pail in the temperature range between +10°C and +30°C.
• Packing: 24 kg container.
