Concrete Admixtures

Product catalog summary
CE Marking for Admixtures
Admixtures for concrete are categorized based on performance and usage, with certification available for multiple categories if an admixture has secondary functions. Specific tests are required for certification, new formula development, or modifications. Categories include water-reducing, air-entraining, set accelerating, and others, each with defined minimum requirements.
Classification of Admixtures for Concrete
The document lists MAPEI admixtures like Chronos and Dynamon, classified as HRWR (High Range Water Reducing) and SRA (Set Retarding Admixture), with performance standards defined in specific tables.
Chronos® Super-plasticisers
Designed for high-quality ready-mixed concrete, especially for long-distance transport in hot climates, maintaining workability without setting retardants through chemically reactive polymers.
High-performance Super-plasticisers
Includes products like Dynamon SP1 and SR3, reducing water usage while maintaining workability and strength, suitable for universal applications including steam curing.
Super-plasticisers for Ready-mixed Concrete
Products like Dynamon SR1 and SR4 are optimized for low water/cement ratios and quick mechanical strength development, ideal for large infrastructure projects and S.C.C. (Self-Compacting Concrete).
R.E.A.L. Admixture Line
Designed for pumped concrete, ensuring no segregation or bleeding, with products like Dynamon SX 12 and SX 28 maintaining workability and mechanical strength.
Super-plasticisers for High Fines Content
Admixtures like Dynamon BT2 and CL 302 reduce water usage and optimize workability and strength with cement mixes or aggregates with high fines content.
Multi-purpose Super-plasticisers
Includes Dynamon Easy 11 and Mapefluid AC 2, maintaining workability across different temperatures, suitable for various seasonal conditions.
Overview: Detailed information on MAPEI products for the concrete industry, focusing on super-plasticisers, plasticisers, accelerators, retardants, and other admixtures for applications like ready-mixed concrete, precast elements, and industrial floors.
1. Super-Plasticisers:
  • Mapefluid Range: Naphthalene-based super-plasticisers like Mapefluid R104 for ready-mixed concrete, offering good workability and water/cement ratio reduction.
  • Dynamon NRG Range: High-performance super-plasticisers for precast concrete, eliminating steam curing and enhancing durability.
2. Plasticisers:
  • Mapeplast Range: Products like Mapeplast N10 and R10 maintain workability and reduce water/cement ratio, suitable for low-heat hydration concrete.
  • Vibromix Range: Designed for vibro-compression and extrusion, improving plasticity and reducing water absorption.
3. Accelerators:
  • Dynamon Floor Range: Super-plasticising accelerators for industrial floors, optimizing workability in various temperatures.
  • Mapefast Range: Chloride-free accelerators for low-temperature concrete, enhancing mechanical strength.
4. Retardants:
  • Mapetard Range: Controls setting and hardening times, reducing heat during hydration, ideal for mass concrete and RCC.
5. Pozzolanic Admixtures:
  • Mapeplast SF/PZ and Mapefluid PZ Ranges: Enhance mechanical strength and chemical resistance through pozzolanic activity.
6. Air-Entraining and Foaming Agents:
  • Mapeair Range: Improves freeze/thaw resistance and reduces concrete density, suitable for lightweight mortar.
7. Shrinkage Reducing Admixtures:
  • Expancrete and Mapecure SRA Range: Control shrinkage and cracking, ensuring dimensional stability.
8. Viscosity Modifying Admixtures:
  • Viscofluid and Viscostar Ranges: Facilitate pumping and improve rheological properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC).
9. Form-Release Agents:
  • Mapeform Eco Range: Vegetable oil-based agents for improving exposed surfaces, suitable for various formwork types.
Form-Release Agents: Mapeform Eco and DMA ranges are designed for the precast industry and on-site use, ensuring optimal element finish and formwork protection. Mapeform Eco excels with horizontal and vertical formwork, while DMA 1000 is versatile across all formwork types.
Properties of Form-Release Agents: Comparison of Mapeform Eco products and DMA 1000, highlighting effectiveness on different formwork materials and resistance to steam curing cycles.
Structural and Anti-Shrinkage Fibres: Mapefibre range includes structural and non-structural polymer fibres for concrete, with Mapefibre ST and CN suitable for structural reinforcement, potentially replacing secondary steel reinforcement. Mapefibre NS fibres prevent cracking due to plastic shrinkage.
Water-Repelling Agents: Idrocrete DM and S make concrete and mortar water-repellent and prevent efflorescence, suitable for ready-mix, site use, and precast applications.
Admixtures for Improved Finishes: Mapeair Zero enhances the finish and compressive strength of exposed concrete. Mapeplast UW is used for underwater casting to prevent leaching.
Recycling and Repair Products: Mapeclean Recycler recycles water from cement truck rinsing. Re-Con Zero is a two-component product for recovering leftover concrete from mixer trucks.
Surface Curing Compounds: Mapecure E, S, and CA protect concrete surfaces from rapid evaporation of mixing water, suitable for precast and site use.
