ViscoFluid LL 3188
POLYCARBOXYLIC BASED SUPERPLASTICIZER for THE PRODUCTION OF high QUALITY READY-MIX CONCRETE
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 LL 3188 is an innovative latest generation superplasticizer based on POLYCARBOXYLIC polymers and is specially engineered for ready-mix concrete and precast concrete. ViscoFluid LL 3188 is differentiated from conventional superplasticisers, such as those based on sulphonated melam ine and naphthalene formaldehyde condensates in that it is based on a unique carboxylic polymer with long lateral chains. This greatly improves cement dispersion. At the start of the mixing process, the same electrostatic dispersion occurs but the presence of the lateral chains, l inked to the polymer backbone, generate a steric hindrance which stabilizes the cement particles capacity to separate and disperse.
Suitable for use in hot and tropical climatic conditions.

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.
