LC-600L
Ultra Performing Multi-Range Water-Reducing Admixture for Concrete
LC-600L is a polycarboxylate-based multi- range, water-reducing admixture for concrete mixes, particularly, where the reduction of cement and carbon is desired. It is designed to facilitate the placing and finishing of concrete while providing control over the set time.
LC-600L is especially beneficial in mixes containing Type IL cements, fly ash, and ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS) where normal set times are needed.
Advantages
- Improves quality of concrete by decreasing water-cement ratio
- Concrete set times decrease as the dosage of LC-600L increases
- Allows reduction of cement thereby reducing carbon emissions
- Increases compressive and flexural strengths
- Allows levels of fly ash and GGBFS to be increased in concrete mixes
- Reduces water content needed for a given workability
- Reduces cracking and drying shrinkage
- Reduces surface bleeding
- Reduces segregation
- Provides superior finishability on all flatwork and pre-cast surfaces
- Improves pumpability and workability of concrete even in mixtures with low contents of cementitious materials
- Provides variable control of setting time and slump-based on a linear dosage rate
- Improves performance over a wide range of cements, fly ashes, silica fumes, GGBFS, and a variety of different mix combinations.
