High Range Water Reducer

About High Range Water Reducer

CETEX HRWR – High Range Water Reducer is the high-performance super plasticiser used to improve the properties of concrete. HRWR has high efficiency hence its low doses offer results in improved properties of concrete and concrete strength. It reduces the water requirement, provides slump protection.

MECHANISM

When CETEXHRWR is added to concrete, it decreases bleeding and material separation& reduces water requirement by at least 30%. CETEX – HRWR is used to reduce the water-cement ratio, increase durability, enhance workability, and increase the concrete’s overall strength. This type of admixture is often used in the construction industry to improve the properties of concrete.

USES

CETEX HRWR is used in all types of cement mixes for production of free flowing concrete such as slabs, foundations, walls, beams, columns and piers; bridges, cantilever structure and foundations; slender component with dense reinforcement.

ADVANTAGES                              

Improves workability, making it easier to pump and pour

Improves water cement ratio, resulting in higher strength of concrete.

Prevents excessive bleed water during the mixing process

Reduces permeability of concrete, which reduces the risk of moisture penetration into the concrete.

Improves cement hydration and pouring properties resulting Better Quality & Durability

Enables the admixture to absorb and retain water within the concrete mixture.

Improves concrete finish - smooth appealing and consistent.

Enhances the durability of the concrete surfaces.

Endures sulfate /chloride attack, freeze-thaw damage, and alkali-silica reaction

Provides uniform mix design and aides in waterproofing.

It is compatible with most of other admixtures like flyash, micro-silica, ggbfs, etc.

Helps in optimization of cement content.

DOSAGE

100– 500 ml per 50 kg of cement is recommended. However, field trials should be conducted to determine the optimum dosage to achieve the required condition of the mix. Dosage may vary due to changes in ingredient sources and ambient conditions like weather, etc.

DIRECTION OF USE

CETEX HRWR should be added to the concrete mix during the mixing cycle after addition of water or premixed in dosing water. Never add the admixture to the dry mix.
