ADVA® CAST 555

High Range Water Reducing Admixture

Description

ADVA® Cast 555 is a high efficiency polycarboxylate-based superplasticizer. ADVA® Cast 555 has been formulated to impart maximum desired workability without segregation to concrete and to achieve high early compressive strength as required by the precast industry. ADVA® Cast 555 is optimized for the production of Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC) in precast/ prestressed applications. ADVA® Cast 555 is formulated to comply with ASTM C494 as a Type A and F and ASTM C1017 Type I.

ADVA® Cast 555 is supplied as a ready-to-use brown liquid. One gallon weighs approximately 8.90 lbs (one liter weighs approximately 1.07 kg). ADVA® Cast 555 contains no intentionally added chlorides.

Application areas

ADVA® Cast 555 is recommended for use in precast and prestressed production in conventional and SCC applications.
