ADVA® 212L is an polymer-based aqueous solution of chemical dispersants combined with other chemicals which increase its beneficial effects on the quality and plasticity of a concrete mix.
ADVA 212L is a high range water reducer, commonly referred to as a superplasticiser. It is a low viscosity liquid which has been formulated by the manufacturer for use as received. ADVA 212L contains no added chloride. ADVA 212L is formulated to comply with the following chemical admixture specifications for concrete: BS 5075: Part 3: 1985 & ASTM-C494, Type F. One litre of ADVA 212L weighs approximately 1.03kg ± 0.02kg.
ADVA 212L neutralises the surface charges on cement particles causing extreme dispersion, resulting in complete, efficient cement hydration which in turn greatly increases strength development.
ADVA 212L is ideal for use in ready mixed, prestress and precast applications, where it is desired to keep the water-cement ratio to a minimum.
ADVA 212L also fluidise concrete making it ideal for tremie concreting or other applications where high slumps or high flow are desired.
Please contact your local GCP representative for further information regarding the dispensing equipment for this product.
ADVA 212L is available in bulk, and in 205L drums.
ADVA 212L contains no flammable ingredients.
Addition rates of ADVA 212L can vary with type of application, but will normally range from 400 to 1,500mL / 100kg of cementitious material. In most instances the addition of 400 to 1,200mL / 100kg of cementitious material will be sufficient. At a given watercement ratio, the slump required for placement can be controlled by varying the addition rate. Should job site conditions require using more than recommended addition rates, please consult your GCP representative.
Most water reducers or water-reducing retarders are compatible with ADVA 212L as long as they are separately added to the concrete. Pretesting of the concrete should be performed to optimise dosages and addition times of these admixture. The admixtures should not be in contact with each other before they enter the concrete. ADVA 212L should not be used together with Naphthalene-based products such as DAREX® Super 20 or DARACEM®.
