CONSPEED     

 

SPECIAL PROPERTIES

Conspeed
1. Speeds up the initial setting time, thus, enabling formworks to be removed earlier and    re-     used.
2. Enables the production of workable, high early strength, higher density concrete with     reduced tendency to segregate, bleed and creep.
3. Aids compaction and the production of fare faced concrete.
4. Reduces viscosity, thus improving pumpability.
5. Enables optimum cement contents to be selected for given strength requirements.



DESCRIPTION

Conspeed is an accelerating water reducing admixture based on calcium chloride designed to accelerate setting time by increasing the density and aiding the hydration reaction with Calcium chloride. It confirms to BS5075: Part 1: 1982 and ASTM C494-80 Type E.

 

 
APPLICATION

Conspeed is of particular value to the precast concrete industry where it is necessary for concrete to set more rapidly for greater productivity. Standard mix design methods may be used, reducing the cement content by app. 10 % when compared with plain concrete at equivalent workability with harsh aggregates or gap grated mixes, the cement reduction may be less than 10%; however a marked improvement in cohesion will be achieved with reduced segretion and bleeding.
