Features & Benefits
- Industrial Additives Features
- Advantage
- Reduces water content needed for a given workability (12 - 40 %)
- Improves surface esthetics and reduces bug holes.
- Improves the quality of concrete by decreasing watercementitious ratio.
- Increases high early and ultimate strengths both compressive and flexural.
- High durability and increased density.
- Reduces damage caused by freezing and thawing.
- Reduces surface bleeding.
- Reduces cracking, creep and shrinkage.
- Reduces segregation and increases cohesiveness.
- Improves finishability and workability of concrete.
- Improves bod strength to the steel.
- Reduces permeability and salt penetration.
- Higher productivity, reduced labor and reduced curing costs.
- Ideally suited for use in self consolidating concrete mixes.
- No Viscosity Modifying Admixture needed for self consolidating concrete.
- Better finished surfaces than concrete produced with a Viscosity Modifying Admixture.
- Technical Note
- Does not contain calcium chloride or any chloride-based components.
- Will not promote or contribute to corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete.
- Conforms to the minimum chloride ion limits published by current construction industry standards.
Applications & Uses

- Applicable Processes
- Dosage Rate
SUPERFLO 1443SCC is recommended for use at a dose of 3 to 26 fluid ounces per 100 lbs. of cementitious to meet the requirements of ASTM C 494 Type A water-reducing and Type F high range water-reducing admixture. When formulating mixes for self-consolidating concrete, consult with your local DarCole Products, Inc. technical service representative. Use of SUPERFLOW1443SCC allows the user to minimize cement contents while maximizing surface appearance.
- Directions
SUPERFLO 1443SCC should be added with initial mixing water or incorporated with the final water at the end of the batch sequence. It is not unusual to experience significantly lower air entrainment dosage requirements (50 - 75 %) when compared to conventional high-range water reducers.
- Coverage
Concrete spread measurements exceeding 28 inches can be obtained using SUPERFLO 1443SCC with water to cementitious rations as low as .35

Technical Details & Test Data
- Compatibility
- SUPERFLO 1443SCC is compatible with all types of Portland cement, class C and F fly ash, silica fume, fibers, approved air entraining, and water-reducing admixtures.
- SUPERFLO 1443SCC can be used in white, colored and architectural concrete. For best results, each admixture must be introduced separately into the concrete mix.
Packaging & Availability

- Packaging & Availability
Available in 55 gallon drums, 275 gallon totes and bulk delivery.
Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
SUPERFLO 1443SCC may be shelved for 18 months.
- Storage
May freeze below 35°F. While freezing does not harm SUPERFLO 1443SCC, precautions should be taken to protect it from freezing. If it should freeze, thaw at 45°F and reconstitute with mechanical agitation. Do not use pressurized air for agitation.
