ZYLA® 640

Normal Water Reducing Admixture

Description

ZYLA® 640 water-reducing admixture is a proprietary formulation incorporating polycarboxylate and highly purified specialty organic chemicals. ZYLA® 640 promotes more complete hydration of Portland cement and has minimal effect on concrete air entrainment.

The ZYLA® product line of water reducers is specially formulated to have a synergistic effect with polycarboxylate-based mid-range and high-range water reducers that improve flat-work finishability.

This product contains no intentionally added chloride and as such is essentially chloride free. It is manufactured under rigid controls that provide uniform, predictable performance. ZYLA® 640 is supplied as a light brown, low viscosity liquid, and is ready-to-use as received. ZYLA® 640 is supplied as a light brown, low viscosity liquid, and is ready-to-use as received. One gallon weighs approximately 9.1 lbs (1.1 kg/L).

Application areas

  • ZYLA® 640 is suitable for normal weight and light weight concrete in ready-mix, precast and prestressed applications

Benefits

  • No impact on concrete air content
  • Better control of water reduction and setting times as compared to traditional lignin-based water reducers
  • Synergistic performance of polycarboxylate-based mid-range and high-range water reducers, which includes water reduction and concrete strength and air control
  • In the hardened state, improves the compressive and flexural strengths at all ages of concrete versus traditional lignin-based water reducers

Packaging

  • 55 gallon drum
  • 275 gallon tote
  • Bulk
