ViscoFluid 5X6X
high-range water reduc ing/superplasticizing concrete admixture
ViscoFluid 5X6X acts by surface absorption on the cement particles producing steric hindrance and electrostatic repulsion between cement particles which results in higher dispersion, flow and retention. ViscoFluid 5X6X provides the following beneficial properties:
Increased working time
Early strength development resulting in economic stripping time for pre-cast and in cast-situe concrete high water reduction resulting in high density, high strength, and reduced water permeability
Excellent plasticizing effect, improving flowability, placing, and compaction behaviour. Improved surface finish
Better shrinkage and creep behaviour
Low risk of segregation
Reduces energy costs for steam-cured pre-cast elements
Does not contain chloridesor or another steel corrosion-promoting ingredient
Better, Faster, Cheaper
Description
- ViscoFluid 5X6X is a New Generation Polyelectrolytes Based co-polymer based superplasticizer developed particularly for use in ready mixed concrete to give extended slump retention and high strength development of normal grade concrete mixes. ViscoFluid 5X6X is suitable for use in concrete mixes incorporating pozzolanic materials such as GGBS, PFA and microsilica. Suitable for use in hot and tropical climatic conditions.
Advantages
- ViscoFluid 5X6X acts by surface absorption on the cement particles producing steric hindrance and electrostatic repulsion between cement particles which results in higher dispersion, flow and retention. ViscoFluid 5X6X provides the following beneficial properties
Powerful plasticising action Production of workable concrete at low w/b ratio Improved shrinkage and creep characteristics Excellent flowability resulting in minimal placing and compacting ef forts Slower rate of carbonation ingress Cost effective, structurally economic higher ultimate strengths allows greater flexibility for eng ineers to design Reduced surface defectsso improving aesthetic appearance
Durable concrete
i

Dispensing
This is a ready-to-use admixture that should be added to the concrete as a separate component. For the best results, add it to the concrete mix immediately after the first 80% of the mixing water has been introduced—when all solids are properly wetted. Avoid adding the admixture directly to dry aggregates.

Recommended dosage
The recommended dosage ranges from 0.3% to 2. 0% by weight of the binder or 0.13% to 0.2% by weight of the total mix mass. However, the exact dosage may vary based on mix design, raw materials, climatic conditions, and specific concrete requirements. It is essential to conduct trial mixes to determine the optimal dosage for your application.
Concreting guidance
Follow standard best practices for concrete production and placement, adhering to relevant industry standards. Proper curing of fresh concrete is essential, especially in high temperatures, to prevent plastic and drying shrinkage.
