4.00 KG - Additive Adjuvant for Lightweight Concrete

Additive for Light Concrete to Mix with Polystyrene Beads.

This additive is compatible with all types of light aggregates: polystyrene beads, cork, expanded clay, pumice stone, etc. It optimizes the strength and density of light or lightweight concretes and mortars, offering an ideal solution for works requiring a more manageable and insulating material.

Instructions for use:

1. Addition in concrete mixer or kneader:

   • Pour the additive after the cement (and possibly the sand) and water.
   • Mix for 2 to 3 minutes.
   • Incorporate the polystyrene beads or other light aggregates.
   • Continue mixing for 4 to 5 minutes.
     
     

2. Use with truck mixer:

   • Add the additive and the polystyrene beads directly on site.
     
     

3. Pumps or projection machines:

   • Introduce the additive after all components.
   • Mix for about 5 minutes.

Application temperature:

• Between 5°C and 35°C

Properties:

• Improved coating of polystyrene beads and other light aggregates
• Homogeneous distribution of aggregates
• Excellent water retention
• Optimized manageability
• Strong adhesion for projected application
• Plasticizing effect

Applications of Light Concrete:

• Production in BPE plant or on site
• Heavy and light prefabrication
• Coatings
• Classic, insulating or acoustic screeds
• Renovation (filling, leveling without structural reinforcement)
• Thermal and acoustic insulation (slabs, walls, screeds)

Advantages:

• Simplified implementation
• Reduced weight compared to classic concrete
• Improved thermal and acoustic performance
