MAPETARD PLUS

Liquid retarding admixture with plasticizing effect.

DESCRIPTION

Mapetard Plus is a liquid retarding agent with plasticizing effect which inhibits cementitious grout setting times, to be used in cementitious mixes. The workability maintenance of cementitious mixes admixed with Mapetard Plus is up to 72 hours after the mix batching. Mapetard Plus conforms to ASTM C494 as Type B and to EN 934-2 as Table 8, depending on the dosage.

WHERE TO USE

Mapetard Plus is specifically designed for use in cementitious mixes that need long workability. Such retardation to the setting time is often required to o set long transportation times or pumping from surface, delays in injecting, etc. Know this Liquid Retarding Admixtures in UAE from Mapei.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Mapetard Plus is a water solution able to retard cementitious mixes maintaining mix workability. In addition, the solution assists in reducing the bleed of the grout and decreases the grout viscosity.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Mapetard Plus has to be added during the batching, generally as the last ingredient and in any case after water and cement. It is advised to avoid adding additional admixture after batching as the setting times of the mix can be significantly modified.

LAB TESTING

To optimise the use of Mapetard Plus, it is advised to contact our technical services department to verify and eventually improve the mix to suit the local conditions of application and the raw materials in the site, and the characteristics of the mix used.

PACKAGING

Mapetard Plus is available in 200 liters drums, 1000 liters IBC and in bulk on request.
