Rockbond Admixtures for Cement and Concrete, RB AFCC

Rockbond admixtures or additives are used to reduce the water content, enhance the flow, increase the strength, reduce the porosity and maximize the durability of Portland cementitious systems. Rockbond admixtures can accelerate or retard, waterproof, and add or remove air from cement and concrete. Concrete materials can be made non shrink, expansive, polymer modified, or designed to be washout resistant for underwater applications.

Rockbond Admix 402 Flowing Accelerator	To produce accelerated grouts and concretes from site batched materials. To accelerate ready mixed, site batched or precast concrete. To accelerate the early strength development of grouts and concretes at cold temperatures, or during winter weather work. For use in concrete for the quick installation of street furniture, crash barriers, manholes, kerbs, drains and slabs. For use in concrete to repair floors, car parks, pathways, loading bays, roadways, taxi ways, motorways and runways when time is very short. For use in marine defences, tidal situations, inshore and offshore environments.
Rockbond Admix 501 Non Flow Acrylic Polymer Powder	To produce good quality mortars and renders from site batched materials. To damp proof, waterproof and weatherproof site batched renders, mortars and concretes. For site batched flooring materials, and repair materials for concrete, floors and screeds. To produce cementitious materials strong in adhesion and tension, and to resist abrasion. For use in chemically aggressive environments, such as food factories, dairies, abattoirs and fertiliser plants and stores.
Rockbond Admix 701 Waterproofer	For use as an admixture to waterproof mass concrete, structural concrete, concrete foundations, tunnels, culverts and pipes. To waterproof water retaining structures, dams, reservoirs, tanks, swimming pools and water handling and storage facilities. To prevent dampness in underground concrete, cellars and basements. To protect concrete in ground water containing chemicals, sulphates and nitrates. To protect reinforced concrete in marine environments, from de-icing salts and chlorides.

To protect concrete in ground water containing aqueous chemicals, sulphates and nitrates.
Rockbond Admix 901 Set Expansive Agent	To produce shrinkage compensated mortars and concretes from site batched materials. To produce non shrink, ready mixed mortars and concrete. To stop shrinkage and cracking of concrete in exposed situations, or in sensitive areas where curing regimes can’t be applied. To eliminate shrinkage and cracking in floor screeds and slabs, car parks, taxi-ways, runways, roadways and motorway carriageway concrete.
Rockbond Admix 1305 Non Flow Retarding Admixture	For applications where an increase in the workability life of mortars or non flow concretes are required. To increase the time necessary to mix, pump or place mortars at 20ºC or more. For use in hot climates or high temperature situations to prevent cementitious mixes from “going off” too quickly. For use with ready mixed concrete which has to travel over long distances.
Rockbond Admix 1501 Concrete Performance Enhancer	For use to prevent bleeding and segregation and for use as a pumping aid. As an additive to produce high strength concrete for structural applications. To increase the wear resistance of concrete floors and structures.
