Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Advantages
- Reduces water content needed for a given workability (12-40%)
- Improves surface esthetics and reduces bug holes
- 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 surface bleeding
- Reduces cracking, creep, and shrinkage
- Reduces segregation and increases cohesiveness
- Improves finishability and workability of concrete
- Improves bond strength to the steel
- Reduces permeability and salt penetration
- 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
- Dosage Rate
Superflo 2000 SCC is recommended for use at a dose of 1 to 3 fluid ounces per 100 pounds (65 to 196 mL per 100 kg) of cementitious to meet the requirements of ASTM C 494 Type A water-reducing and 4 to 26 fluid ounces (260 to 1695 mL) for Type F high-range water-reducing admixture. When formulating mixes for self consolidating concrete, consult with your local RussTech technical service representative for an aggregate analysis. Use of Superflo 2000 SCC allows the user to minimize cement contents while maximizing surface appearance.
- Directions
Superflo 2000 SCC 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.
- Compatibility
Superflo 2000 SCC 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 SCC can be used in white, colored, and architectural concrete. For best results, each admixture must be introduced separately into the concrete mix.
- Applications
Concrete spread measurements exceeding 28 inches can be obtained using Superflo 2000 SCC with water to cementitious ratios as low as .35

- Technical Note
Superflo 2000 SCC does not contain calcium chloride or any chloride-based components. It will not promote or contribute to corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete.
Superflo 2000 SCC conforms to the minimum chloride ion limits published by current construction industry standards.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Packaging
55-gallon drums, 275-gallon totes, and bulk delivery.
Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 18 Months
- Storage
Superflo 2000 SCC may freeze at temperatures below 35 F (2C). Although freezing does not harm Superflo 2000 SCC, 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.
