Mycrocon R Integral Waterproofing Compound

Mycrocon – R is a concrete retarder free of chlorides that might postpone the concrete's setting time. There is no negative impact on the concrete's subsequent stiffening and strength gain from the delayed initial hydration of the cement, which causes a delay in the concrete's setting time.

Mycrocon R retarder concrete admixtures significantly enhance the practicality of concrete applications under challenging conditions by delaying hydration. However, careful consideration must be given to their application to prevent potential negative impacts on long-term performance metrics.

Where to use:

• To extend the setting time of concrete, extending working times

• To improve the effectiveness of the water content of a concrete mix

• In all types of low- and high-rise building

• Particularly suitable for use in mixes having fly ash and also improve the working life

of semi dry concrete mixes, specifically RCC type of mixes

Features of Mycrocon R Compounds:

➢ Enhanced durability: Mycrocon R reduces the permeability and increases the

resistance to weathering and enhances the durability.

➢ Prevents Flash Setting: Useful in high-temperature conditions

➢ Corrosivity: Chloride free PMycrocon R admixture will neither initiate nor promote

corrosion of reinforced steel in concrete.

➢ Strength: Reduced water cement ratio will increase strength of concrete at all stages.

Method of Application – Dosages

The optimum dosage is best determined by site trials with the concrete mix. Site trials with Mycrocon R should always be compared with mix containing no admixture. As a guide, a dosage range of 0.6 to 1.5% of cement is normally recommended.

Precautions & Limitations

➢ Do not add Mycrocon R directly to dry cement & aggregate mix.

➢ Maintain water-cement ratio as low as possible.

➢ Do not increase the dosage of Mycrocon R than the recommendation.

Shelf Life

➢ Best before 2 years from the date manufacture when in sealed pack and stored under

proper condition.

➢ Store in a cool & dry place.

Health & Safety

➢ Use rubber hand gloves & safety goggles, while using Mycrocon R

➢ In case of contact with skin, wash with plenty of water.

➢ Keep out of reach of children
