- Features and Benefits
- Cost reductions. For conventional concrete mixes, K100® will solely replace the following admixtures and supplementary materials:
- Water reducers.
- Superplasticizers.
- Pozzalons.
- Silica fume.
- Fly ash.
- Membranes.
- Fine fillers.
- Fibers.
- Density and strength gainers.
- Dosage reduction of water at the rate of 10%-30% in conventional concrete mixes.
- No surface preparation (remove loose materials).
- High cement hydration.
- Yield of mixed batch is higher by 8% to 14% of cement gel.
- Early strengthening at 3rd to 7th day.
- Compressive strength is increased by up to 25%.
- Shrinkage is lower at 2 to 3 times.
- Exothermic heat is lower at 30% to 50%.
- 100% water impermeability at 2 inch concrete thick layer.
- Strong adhesion to any porous material.
- Works with concrete in ambient temperature range of -4°F to 104°F.
- Increased pumpability.
- Increased workability.
- No shrinkage cracks.
- No cracks, flakes, efflorescence and slid areas.
- No bleeding.
- Highest resistance to chemical and climate corrosions.
- Highest freeze-thaw resistance.
- Mixing for up to 5 hours keeps concrete batch revived with approximately 20% slump reduction. however, workability will be the same.
- No curing is required.

- Direction for Use/Instructions
Dosage:
1. K100® is applicable by the volumetric ratios as 0.41 GL/CY (2 OZ/CF), or 2 Liter/m3 of conventional concrete mix.
2. K100® is applicable by the weight’s ratios as 10 OZ per 100 LB of cement or 0.75 Kg per 100 Kg of cement.
Due to variations in concrete materials, applications and/or jobsite conditions, it is suggested that dosages outside of normal usage range may be required. In such cases, contact KALMATRON CORPORATION Representative.

Regulatory & Compliance
- ASTM Classification
K100® falls under the classification of the following types of ASTM C 494:
- Type C – cement hydration accelerator;
- Type F – high range water-reducing admixture;
- Type S – specific performance admixture.
Safety & Health
- Precautions
- Test batches and sample testing must be performed by strict compliance with manufacturer’s test instructions
- K100® is not hazardous, not flammable and not explosive for applications, transportation, and storage
- In all cases, consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before use.
- Safety
Operation with K100® is similar to cement mixing jobs. Always, use rubber gloves. In case KF-A is inhaled, swallowed or gets in contact with eyes, rinse and wash abundantly with water. Refer to the MSDS for additional health and safety information.
