LC-500
RussTech carries a full line of normal water reducing concrete admixtures. These products have been designed to enhance strength while reducing mix water.
LC-500 is a normal setting water-reducing admixture for concrete. It is designed to facilitate the placing and finishing of concrete while providing control over set time. LC-500 is also a set retarding admixture beneficial during hot weather concreting operations when control of setting time and maintenance of placeable consistency are essential.
Advantages
- Improves quality of concrete by decreasing water-cement ratio
- Lower inventory costs at batch plant, one product performs dual purpose
- Increases strengths both compressive and flexural
- Increases density and relative durability
- Resists damage caused by freezing and thawing
- Reduces water content needed for a given workability
- Reduces cracking and shrinkage
- Reduces surface bleeding
- Reduces segregation
- Improves finishability and workability of concrete
- Improves pumpability of concrete
- Maintains slump life during extended mixing times
- Aids to reduce peak heat of hydration in mass pour concrete- reduces thermal cracking
- Aids in preventing cold joints
- Provides variable control of setting time based on dosage rate
