Description
Ucoplast SR--550 is a new high range water reducing superplasticiser
admixture specially formulated to extend working time of
flowing concrete. The incorporation of a retardant into the system
enable workability to be retained for longer period.
Ucoplast - SR -550 extends the time span of the slump increase twice or
longer.
Benefit
The powerful dispersing action and the ex- tended period of fluidity
offer the following benefits.
1. High workability:
Concrete containing Ucoplast SR- 550 literally flows and it is
almost self leveling. It can be place around congested reinforcement and requires little or no
vibration, thus significantly
reduces concrete placement time and cost. Improved finish without
risk of bleeding and segregation.
2. Slump Retainer:
Ucoplast SR - 550 retains the slump for longer time and no adverse
effect on ultimate strength, specially suitable for hot climate and
where pumped concrete is used.
3. Water Reducer:
As a water reducer Ucoplast SR-550 helps upto 25% water reduction
which significantly increase early and ultimate strength improves
surface finish and water tightness.
Where to use
* Precast & Prestressed concrete
* Mass concreting
* Pump concrete
* Congested Reinforcement concrete

Method of use
Ucoplast SR-550 is to be added into the gauging water and then in
concrete.
Normal dosage of Ucoplast-SR-550 is in the range of 400 ml - 800 ml per
50 kg. Cement, depend upon the workability required.
Overdosing
Overdosing should be avoided since it may produced concrete which may
lead to segregate and prolonged retardation of set.
Storage Life
One year in the manufacturer's drums. Protect from frost and direct
sunlight.
Health & Safety
Ucoplast SR- 550 is an industrial chemical. ingestion should be
avoided.
