þ       Polyheed® FC100

PolyHeed FC 100Â patented, ready-to-use non-chloride, mid-range water-reducing admixture is a new generation of admixture based on polycarboxylate chemistry.

It is specifically formulated to provide normal setting times with fly ash and or ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS) concrete mixtures.

PolyHeed FC 100 admixture meets ASTM C 494 requirements for Type A, water-reducing, Type C, accelerating, and Type E, water-reducing and accelerating, admixtures.

Features

True mid-range water reduction (5-18%) and excellent performance across a wide slump range, especially the difficult slump range of 6-8 in. (150-200 mm)

Superior workability/pumpability even in concrete mixtures with low contents of cementitious materials

Consistent performance in low to high slump concrete mixtures, in particular, the mid-range slump of 5-8 in. (125-200 mm)

Provides normal setting times with fly ash and GGBFS concrete mixtures

Benefits

Improved performance with a wide range of cements, fly ashes, silica fume, GGBFS and aggregates (including coarse and manufactured sands)

Opportunity to increase the level of fly ash or GGBFS replacement in a given concrete mixture

Reduced in-place concrete costs

þ       PolyHeed® 997

PolyHeed 997Â patented multicomponent, non-chloride, mid-range water-reducing admixture meets ASTM C 494 requirements for Type A, water-reducing, and Type F, high-range water-reducing, admixtures.

Features

True mid-range water reduction (5-15%) and excellent performance across a wide concrete slump range, especially the difficult slump range of 5-8 in. (125-200 mm)
