PAMIX 211
Set and early-strength accelerating admixture for concrete
Translated from the Spanish data sheet. Standard designations, ASTM type numbers, figures and units are reproduced unchanged; in case of doubt the Spanish PDF governs.
Description
Pamix 211 is a brown aqueous-solution admixture formulated to modify hydration in concrete, accelerating setting times. According to its description it complies with ASTM C494 as type C.
Recommended applications
- Precast concrete.
- General-purpose concrete where early-age strength is required.
- Prestressed concrete.
- Sprayed concrete.
- Concrete for slabs and/or pavements.
Advantages
- Early-age strength.
- Helps in the reuse of formwork.
- Reduces segregation and bleeding in plastic concrete.
- By reducing the setting time of the concrete it helps minimise the risk of damage to placements during the rainy season.
- Faster use of concrete structures in pavements and slabs.
- Shortens the time before finishing can start on slabs for industrial floors.
Dosage
Reference dosage 5 to 40 ml / kg of cementitious material
The recommended dosage is between: 5 to 40 ml / kg of cementitious material; to define the appropriate dosage for use in concrete, consult your trusted advisor at PAMIX, who will make a suggestion according to the use of the concrete; nevertheless, it is advisable to run trials with all the materials to be used in the concrete mix design, taking into account the ambient conditions, transport time and placement time of the concrete on site.
The best performance of the admixture in the concrete mix is obtained through trials with the materials to be used; by keeping to this practice with the guidance of PAMIX INTERNATIONAL, S.A., you will obtain the best cost–benefit ratio.
To minimise the problems that arise when ambient or concrete temperatures are high, follow the recommendations of the current ACI 305R, “Hot Weather Concreting”. Contains added chlorides. Consult the Safety Data Sheet before use.
Compatibility
Pamix 211 is effective either as a single admixture or as part of a system with other admixtures in the PAMIX line; it is added to the mix independently of other admixtures. Contains added chlorides.
Packaging
Pamix 211 is supplied in bulk, in 200L drums and in 1,000L containers.
The admixture should be kept closed and sealed at all times in its original containers, in a roofed store protected from the weather.
Shelf life
12 months in the original unopened container.
