RHEOBUILD® 1000
Rheobuild 1000 high-range, water-reducing admixture is formulated to produce rheoplastic concrete. Rheoplastic concrete flows easily, maintaining high plasticity for time periods longer than conventional superplasticized concrete. Rheoplastic concrete has the low water-cementitious materials ratio of no-slump concrete, providing excellent engineering (hardened) properties. The slump-retention characteristics of rheoplastic concrete permit the addition of Rheobuild 1000 admixture at the batch plant. Rheobuild 1000 admixture meets ASTM C 494 requirements for Type A, water-reducing, and Type F, high-range water-reducing, admixtures.
