Three products to make your work easier
Supercizer 7
Advantages
Supercizer 7 will reduce the incidence
of blowouts. Adding Supercizer 7 makes concrete flowable without adding water. Use it in all
forms, but especially in those containing rebar. Your concrete will pour in easily, filling
all spaces. An added plus is that its use results in high early and ultimate strength of
the concrete. Use one bag per yard of concrete.
Description
Supercizer 7 is a high-range water reducing superplasticizer. It meets ASTM Standard C-494
Type G, AASHTO M-194 and CRD C-87. Like all Fritz-Pak concrete admixtures, it is packaged
in patented inner water-soluble bags for easy addition at the job site. Superplasticizers
may be added at the plant, but their effects may wear off before you pump, especially if
there are delays in transit or on the job. For more information, see
Fritz-Pak Product Bulletin #115.
Slick-Pak II
Advantages
Most concrete for ICFs is pumped, and Slick-Pak II
is the best pumping aid on the market. It is added directly to the concrete, where its patented
ingredients modify the concrete to slide easily through the pump boom and end hose. Concrete
containing Slick-Pak II will more easily slide into the concrete forms, reducing voids.
It will increase the viscosity of the water in the concrete, reducing blow-outs and excessive
seepage between forms. It is especially useful for harsh mixes. Typical dose is one bag per
4-5 yards of concrete.
Description
Slick-Pak II is a patented pumping aid that has been in use for over ten years. It is an
advanced formulation that has never been matched. Slick-Pak II can be used as a concrete
pump primer as well as a pumping aid. For more information, see Fritz-Pak
Product Bulletin #129.
Mini Delayed Set
Advantages
Mini Delayed Set will slow down
the set of concrete. There are many times when you may need it. In hot temperatures concrete
sets faster, so you may want to plan on using Mini Delayed Set regularly in warm weather.
It can save a load in the event of unexpected delays, for example a blow-out, an accident,
or heavy traffic. One bag of Mini Delayed Set will delay the set of one yard of concrete for
about one hour.
Description
Mini Delayed Set is a set retarding admixture, in patented Fritz-Pak packaging.
Commonly used by ready mix producers and concrete pumpers, it meets ASTM Standards C-494
Type D, AASHTO M-194 and CRD C-87. See Fritz-Pak
Product Bulletin # 105, if desired.
