ROCKBOND CONCRETE STIRRER

Product Information Sheet:

ROCKBOND CONCRETE STIRRER Product Information Sheet

DESCRIPTION:

ROCKBOND CONCRETE STIRRER (RB CS) is a heavy duty steel stirrer or paddle with a hexagonal shaft which fits fast into the chuck assembly of a power tools or drills. The stirrer, spinning greater than at 500 revs/minute, produces a high speed, high shear mixing action which cuts into concrete powder and water mixes. The mixing action is fast and efficient, and produces a quick mix at low water/cement ratios which generate products with excellent flow and early strength characteristics. The use of a Rockbond Concrete Stirrer in conjunction with a Rockbond 25 litre mixing container provides a quick, simple and convenient way to mix ROCKBOND SPECIAL CONCRETE PRODUCT (RB SCP) powders with water. The stirrer is strong and durable and has a design life greater than most stirrers particularly those manufactured from aluminium and plastic.

SPECIAL PROPERTIES:

  • Made of steel, strong, durable and long lasting.
  • Will fit the chuck of power tools and drills suitable to mix 25kg of concrete powder with water.
  • Quick, simple and convenient method to mix cementitious powders with water.
  • Height of the paddle is good for mixing materials in the body of the mix without splashing and loosing product from the surface of the mix
  • Economical, quick, convenient, user friendly and safe to use.

USES:

  • To mix ROCKBOND SPECIAL CONCRETE PRODUCT powders and other dry mixed
    bagged products with water
  • Useful method for dry mixing admixtures, cementitious powders
  • Ideal for breaking down clumps and lumps in powders, fillers and liquids.
  • For use to mix resin and latex ingredients, aqueous solutions and segregated particles.
  • To premix and prepare cement based powders ready for efficient wet mixing on site.

    safe to use.

USES:

  • To colour and enhance the appearance of cement, mortar, render and concrete.
  • To pigment cementitious repair materials to colour match adjacent areas of concrete.
  • In situations where pigmented mortars improve the appearance of brickwork, blockwork,
    and for the use with concrete and concrete structures.
  • To colour precast concrete products, castings, furniture, countertops, worktops, statues,
    garden ornaments and artifacts.
  • To produce coloured and ascetically pleasing construction materials.

ROCKBOND STAINLESS STEEL FIBRE (RB SSF)

Product Information Sheet:

DESCRIPTION:

ROCKBOND STAINLESS STEEL FIBRES (RB SSF) are strong, inert, monofilament stainless steel fibres specially designed to improve the hardened properties of cementitious materials.  Concrete, mortars, renders and floor screeds harden to produce materials that are greater in tension and have a greater resistance to shear, wear and tear, impact and abrasion.  The fibres are also used to reduce or eliminate problems associated with the drying out of concrete, shrinkage, cracking and crazing.  The fibres are ready to use, supplied to order and have an indefinite shelf life.

SPECIAL PROPERTIES:

  • Available in lengths and diameters of 12mm/0.4mm, 25mm/0.6mm and 35mm/0.7mm.
  • Fibres are made of stainless steel which is strong, tough and wear resistant.
  • Quickly and easily dispersed without bundling to produce workable mixes.
  • To produce steel reinforced concrete without the use of steel reinforcing or mesh.
  • To minimise shrinkage, reduce or eliminate both plastic and long term shrinkage.
  • Fibres prevent cracking to produce impermeable and durable cementitious products.
  • Produces concrete which is stronger in compression, flexion and tension.
  • The fibres are non absorbent, chemically resistant and will not degrade with time.
  • To enhance the resistance of concrete against heat, impact, shock, abrasion, wear and tear.
  • Economical, non flammable, non toxic, odour free, user friendly and safe to use.

USES:

  • For use in concrete placed in heavy engineering and railway workshops and shipyards.
  • For concrete placed in heavy and massive machine assembly plants and factories.
  • To produce wear resistant concrete where there is heavy and frequent vehicular traffic.
  • In areas where the traffic is steel wheeled or moves on caterpillars.
  • To repair and protect concrete against loading buckets, shovels and grabs.
  • To produce high flexural and high tensile strength concrete and flooring materials.
  • To eliminate shrinkage, cracking and crazing in cementitious screeds, thin toppings and coatings.
  • For corrosion free, marine concrete, sea defences, harbours, jetties, docks and locks.
  • A substitute for steel reinforcing cages, mesh and rods in the fabrication of reinforced concrete.
  • To produce high strength, fracture resistant, precast concrete products such as manhole rings and covers, frames, posts, kerbs, tiles and slabs.
