Description
QUANTEC® PL-490 admixture is a concentrated plasticizer specially formulated for use in the production of concrete block, concrete, pipe and other low slump concrete products where a smooth, tight surface with a light swipe is preferred.
QUANTEC® PL-490 admixture is supplied as a liquid concentrate but it is intended to be used in a diluted form.
Application areas
- QUANTEC® PL-490 admixture may be used in all zero or low slump concrete to increase workability while retaining cohesiveness, and to provide for more complete hydration of the cement. QUANTEC® PL-490 admixture is a plasticizer which improves the dispersion of the cement throughout the mix as well as improving the workability of the mix which can improve machine efficiency.
- The increased workability achieved with QUANTEC® PL-490 admixture allows for better compaction of the block with less cracking and sharper corners and edges, resulting in fewer culls. Production can be improved while maintaining a smoother, denser surface with a light swipe.
