Anti Washout Admixture, For Commercial Use, Purity : 90%

vitcon 2014 awa is a liquid cellulose based antiwashout admixture that is specially developed for underwater concrete applications. concrete containing vitcon 2014 awa exhibits superior resistance to washout of cement and fines, while impeding the bleeding of external water into the plastic concrete. vitcon 2014 awa meets the requirements of crd-c 661-06, specification for antiwashout admixtures for concrete.
technical specifications:

• colour: brown
• form: liquid
• specific gravity: approx 1.02

application methodology:

• vitcon 2014 awa should be added with a water reducing admixture, such as vitcon 9001 hp. for achieving high slump concrete, use vitcon 2014 awa in conjunction with vitcon 9001 pce high range water reducing superplasticiser admixture. this combination will produce a high performance, flowing concrete that exhibits superior resistance to washout of cement and fines.
• vitcon 2014 awa should be added after all other concreting ingredients have been blended together, either at the batch plant or at the jobsite.
• concrete containing vitcon 2014 awa is easily pumped throughout the typical slump ranges that are used for underwater concreting. it is recommended that concrete containing vitcon 2014 awa is placed by pump or tremie. concrete placement should be continuous and without interruption. keep the discharge point of the placement device immersed in the fresh concrete during placement.
• it is not recommended that concrete containing vitcon 2014 awa be allowed to free fall through water during placement.
