Conplast SP2000 constructive solutions

Superior high range water reducer for high

strength concrete

Uses Properties

 Specifically developed for use in high strength concrete Appearance : Brown liquid
for workability retention at low water content. Specific gravity : Typically 1.215 @ 25°C
Chloride content : Nil to BS 5075
 Provides good pumpable concrete at elevated Air entrainment : Typically less than 2%
temperature conditions. additional air is entrained at
normal dosages.
 Recommended for long haul concrete. Alkali content : 56.5 g. Na2O equivalent/litre of
admixture.
 Recommended for piling and mass concrete pours with
improved cohesion. Instructions for use

Storage

Conplast SP2000 should be re-circulated once a day for 10

minutes and has a minimum shelf life of 12 months provided
the temperature is kept within the range of 2°C to 50°C.

Should the temperature of the product fall outside this range

contact Fosroc for advice.

Freezing point : Approximately -2°C
