MS-5-iSC

DOSAGE

The optimum dosage of MS-5-iSC 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 additive.

DIRECTION OF USE

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

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

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

• Enables internal curing by storing and gradually releasing water required for cement hydration
• Reduces surface water evaporation in hot, dry, or windy conditions
• Reduces water-cement ratio
• Reduces cement content in concrete
• Increases workability and workability retention of concrete
• Increases flexural, tensile and compressive strength of concrete
• Achieve to early compressive strength of concrete
• Improves pumpability of concrete and reducing depreciation of concreting Equipments
• Improves concrete consistency
• Enables economies in mix designs to be achieved when special conditions such as chemicals attack, dynamic load, etc.
• Increases durability of concrete
• Increases the abrasion resistance of concrete
• Reduce the risk of cracks in concrete

• Concrete production and transportation in hot, cold, or windy climates
• Concrete for massive structures such as dams, water treatment plants, water channels, and bridges
• 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.
