- Advantages
- By varying the dosage rate, Superflo 2040 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
- Ideally suited for use in self consolidating concrete mixes
- Higher productivity and reduced labor
- Product Highlights
Flowing concrete with no segregation can be obtained using Superflo 2040 RM along with proper mix design practices for self consolidating concrete.
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Dosage Rate
Superflo 2040 RM is recommended for use at a dose of 1 to 8 fluid ounces per 100 pounds (65 to 522 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.
- Directions
Superflo 2040 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.
- Compatibility
Superflo 2040 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 2040 RM can be used in white, colored, and architectural concrete. For best results, each admixture must be introduced separately into the concrete mix.
- Uses
Superflo 2040 RM can be used to create concrete that may be placed in forms with little to no vibration. This results in concrete that can be produced with minimum labor costs and maximum esthetic value.
- Product Quality
Superflo 2040 RM produces concrete with excellent quality and appearance. Forms may be stripped earlier with concrete that reaches early and ultimate strengths faster.
Regulatory & Compliance
- Specifications
Conforms to:
ASTM C 494 Types A and F
AASHTO M 194 Types A and F
CRD C 87 Types A and F
All other Federal and State specifications
Technical Details & Test Data
- Technical Note
Superflo 2040 RM does not contain calcium chloride or any chloride-based components. It will note promote or contribute to corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete.
Superflo 2040 RM conforms to the minimum chloride ion limits published by current construction industry standards.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Packaging
5-gallon pails, 55-gallon drums and 275-gallon totes all non-returnable containers.
Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 18 Months
- Storage
Superflo 2040 RM may freeze at temperatures below 35 F (2 C). Although freezing does not harm Superflo 2040 RM, 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.
