Ready-Mix Concrete Admixtures
Features
EKAN®MIX 515 is a new-generation superplasticizer admixture, formulated to ensure high water reduction and high workability.
It facilitates the production of highly fluid concrete with controlled rheology that eases placement and finishing.
Ideal for pumped concrete, complex elements, or shotcrete applications, it ensures stable consistency and excellent surface quality.
EKAN® MIX 515 is suitable for low temperatures. It reduces concrete setting times.
It must not be mixed or used together with naphthalene sulfonate-based admixtures.
Instructions for use
Areas of use
- All types of cement (except high-alumina cement)
- Ready-mix concrete
- Reinforced concrete
- Mass concrete
- Pumped concrete
- Shotcrete
Application
Dosage: 0.4 kg – 2.0 kg per 100 kg of cement. For general concrete applications: 0.4% – 0.8%.
For high-fluidity or self-compacting concrete applications: 0.8% – 2.0%.
EKAN® MIX 515 is completely soluble in water. For best performance, it is recommended to add the product to the second half of the mixing water.
The optimal dosage of EKAN® MIX 515 should be established after local testing of the desired mechanical properties of the cement and the workability of the mix.
