Addition Rates
Addition of CM 9007 can vary depending on the degree of water repellency required. Our recommended start rates are as follows: 5.0 to 15.0 fluid oz / 100 - lbs of cement 150 to 450 milliliters / 100 – lbs of cement Important Note: From out trials we found it effective to add CM 9007 as a solution in water (minimum of 50% water required for hydration), particularly for low water and cement mix ratio prior into adding to the mix. All the aggregates and cement must be added first, prior into adding CM 9007 in water solution. Do not intermix with other admixtures or add simultaneously to cause direct contact of fluids.
Mix Conditions And Requirement During Curing
The concrete mix must be always homogenous to ensure good workability. For mix design formulations using regular or super plasticizers commonly made from polycarboxylates, tests must be performed to hold water by at least 25% of water from the mix. If additional water is required, add in increments to check for desired workability. The material will conform to its original phase rheology and will not alter properties of fluidity. For regular concrete the slump will not change. However, if preparing an established SCC (self-consolidating concrete) mix with desired flow, the water to cement mix ratio may need to be reduced.The concrete may appear blotchy within 24-hours due to evidence of bonding occurring in the concrete matrix. However, this will completely normalize to its natural color appearance as it continues to cure and will change rapidly in a few hours. To accelerate expose the casted concrete to the sun to facilitate reaction of silicate bonding.
