- Advantages
- By varying the dosage rate Superflo 2000 RM can be used as a normal, mid-range and high-range water-reducing admixture
- Improves the quality of concrete by decreasing water-cementitious ratio
- Increases high early and ultimate strengths both compressive and flexural
- High durability and increased density
- Reduces damage caused by freezing and thawing
- Reduces water content needed for a given workability (12-40%)
- Reduces surface bleeding
- Reduces cracking, creep, and shrinkage
- Reduces segregation and increase cohesiveness
- Improves finishability and workability of concrete
- Improves pumpability of concrete
- Maintains slump life during extended mixing times
- Plasticity range of 8 to 11 inches
- Improves bond strength to the steel
- Reduces permeability and salt penetration
- Higher productivity and reduced labor

- Dosage Rate
SUPERFLO 2000 RM is recommended for use at a dose of 1 to 20 fluid ounces per 100 pounds (65 to 1305 mL per 100 kg) of cementitious to meet the requirements of ASTM
C 494 Type A water-reducing and Type F high-range water-reducing admixture.
SUPERFLO 2000 RM admixture has a recommended dosage range of up to 3 fluid ounces per 100 pounds (196 mL per 100 kg) to meet ASTM C 494 Type A applications.
SUPERFLO 2000 RM admixture has a recommended dosage range of 3 to 6 fluid ounces per 100 pounds (196 to 391 mL per 100 kg) for use in mid-range applications.
SUPERFLO 2000 RM admixture has a recommended dosage range of 7 to 20 fluid ounces per 100 pounds (457 to 1305 mL per 100 kg) to meet ASTM C 494 Type F applications.
Because local job conditions and materials vary, contact your local RussTech technical service representative for further assistance if using this product outside recommended dosage ranges (such as silica fume) or when combining with other admixtures.- Compatibility
Superflo 2000 RM is compatible with all types portland cement, class C and F fly ash, silica fume, fibers, approved air entraining, and water-reducing admixtures.
Superflo 2000 RM can be used in white, colored, and architectural concrete. For best results, each admixture must be introduced separately into the concrete mix.
- Directions
SUPERFLO 2000 RM should be added with the 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.
