CHEMITO SIGMA FLOW 2880

New Generation Super Plasticizing Admixture

sigma-6

DESCRIPTION:
CHEMITO SIGMA FLOW 2880 is the latest development of superplasticizer for concrete. It meets the requirements for high range water reducing superplasticizers.

STANDARDS:
CHEMITO SIGMA FLOW 2880 complies with ASTM C 494-1981 Type G

DOMAINS OF APPLICATION/USES:

  • CHEMITO SIGMA FLOW 2880 can be used for:
  • All cement and cementitious material
  • Ready mix concrete
  • Provides high water reduction and improved fresh concrete characteristics
  • Unique multipurpose superplasticizer
  • Single admixture for wide range of concrete
  • Concrete at mild to cold temperatures
  • Highly efficient concrete applications

ADVANTAGES:

  • CHEMITO SIGMA FLOW 2880 provides the following beneficial properties:
    • Substantial improvements in workability Flow properties without any increase in water, produces self-compacting concrete
    • The bond strength of concrete to reinforcing steel is considerably increased.
    • Extended workability in conjunction with subsequent strength development.
    • Very significant water reduction minimizes shrinkage or cracking, producing close textured impervious concrete with improved durability and surface finish.
    • This is of particular importance in liquid retaining and water bearing structures.
    • Surface water, water under pressure and aggressive atmospheric conditions.
    • For a given concrete mix keeping the cement consumption and workability constant, large reduction in the amount of mixing water can be achieved.
