CONCERA® SA8080

High Range Water Reducing Admixture

Description

CONCERA® SA8080 is a high efficiency polycarboxylate based linear dose water reducer and high range water reducing admixture. A unique formulation of polycarboxylate dispersants and rheology modifiers enables CONCERA® SA8080 to be successfully used in a wide variety of applications ranging from dry cast and zero slump mixes to highly flowable self-consolidating mixes. Throughout this diverse range of applications, CONCERA® SA8080 provides superior overall workability, rheology and finishability resulting in productivity improvements, excellent strength and durability properties. 

CONCERA® SA8080 is supplied as a ready-to-use liquid that weighs approximately 8.65 lbs/gal (1.04kg/L). It does not contain intentionally added chlorides.

CONCERA® SA8080 can be used to make self-consolidating concrete (SCC) with superior water tolerance and very high levels of workability without segregation. In addition, CONCERA® SA8080 produces SCC concrete that is less sticky and has improved finishability and form finish even when used in mix designs containing harsh aggregates. CONCERA® SA8080 can be used by itself or in conjunction with ADVA® products to achieve optimal properties.
