BETOCRETE-CL170-P
2.3 Performance Criteria BETOCRETE-CL170-P has the following properties: Colour: colourless, clear Form: Liquid Density: 1.19 g/cm³ Application temp.: +5°C to +40°C Compressive strength according to EN 12390-3 ≥110 % compared to untreated concrete after 7/28 days Air content according to EN 12350-7 ≤ 2 % higher volume share than untreated concrete Reduction of Water requirement according to EN 12350-2 or EN 12350-5 ≥ 5 % slump increase or flow increase compared to untreated concrete
Dosage range w/c ratio < 0.4: 1.75 % by weight of CEM > 0.4–0.5: 1.85 % by weight of CEM > 0.5–0.55: 2.00 % by weight of CEM Do not exceed 2.25 % by weight of CEM. Minimum Cement Content: CEM I: 270 kg/m3 CEM II: 290 kg/m3 CEM III /A: 380 kg/m3 Puzzolanic cements with puzzolan content > 20 %: 300 kg/m3 Granulated slag: max.100 kg/m3 Fly ash: max. 80 kg/m3 Dosage in ready-mix factory: BETOCRETE-CL-170-P can be added to the mix water or added to the finished concrete mix. Dosage in truck mixer on the job site: Dose BETOCRETE-CL170-P directly into the mixing drum. Mix thoroughly mixed for 1 min per m³ of concrete, but at least 5 minutes. Use quickly
Part 3 – Execution 3.1 General: Assure that concrete mix design and proposed materials are in compliance with manufacturer’s recommendations. Assure that test batching and material testing, if recommended by manufacturer, has been carried out prior to starting concrete work. Comply with manufacturer’s product data and installation instructions.. 3.2 Application: Stir liquid crystalline waterproofing admixture in a container provided prior to use, to assure that the mixture is homogeneous specially when stored for longer periods. Assure that the water/cement ratio (w/c) does not exceed 0.55 (liquid crystalline waterproofing admixture is included.
3.3 Important Advice: • Please ensure that pre-tests were made with all admixtures that will be used in the concrete mix • A storage temperature of >30 °C can lead to a brown discoloration of BETOCRETE-CL170-P. This has no influence on the product features. • BETOCRETE-CL170-P has to be thoroughly mixed after a longer storage period (> 2 months) • The addition of a concrete retarder can be necessary when using Portland Cement Type II or III. Suitability tests have to be carried out before usage. • It is rarely possible that BETOCRETE-CL170-P influences the setting of the concrete. Our product RUXOLITH-T5 (VZ) has proven as the most effective retarder. • Concrete modified with BETOCRETE-CL170-P

may tend to effloresce depending on the composition. • If the BETOCRETE-CL170-P was stored at temperatures below +5 °C crystals may form, BETOCRETE-CL170-P is suitable for usage again after warming up to minimum +15 °C followed by stirring or homogenizing. • Suitability tests according to valid standards and norms have to be carried out prior to application.
3.4 Cleaning: Regular water flushing of dispensing equipment will prolong service life and reduce breakdowns. Use REINIT-BM on internal metal surfaces subject to contact with concrete in concrete mixers, batch plants and truck mixers regularly to prevent concrete crust formations. Use ASO-R005 to remove hardened concrete crusts.
