POLYHEED® 852 R 

POLYHEED 852 R is multicomponent mid-range water-reducing admixture, free of chlorides, formulated to produce:
  1. Mid-range water reduction (5 to 15%) and an excellent performance through a wide slump range.
  2. Increases the setting time of concrete along the recommended dosage range.
  3. Improves workability, pumpability and finishing quality, even with cementitious materials and/or mixes that contain fly ash or natural pozzolans.
  4. Development of comparable strengths with water reducing and retarding admixtures.
  5. Better performance with a wide range of cements, natural pozzolans, fly ash, aggregates and granulated slag.
POLYHEED 852 R meets the requirement of ASTM C494 for water reducing admixtures Type A, retarding admixtures Type B and rwater reducing and retarding Type D.

 

FEATURES
  • Reduces the content of water for a given slump
  • Better setting time characteristics.
  • Increase compressive and flexural strength development.

 

BENEFITS
POLYHEED 852 R helps produce a quality concrete with the following special benefits:
  • Superior workability and pumpability in applications in warm climates with high humidity.
  • Consistent performance in concrete with slumps under (25 to 100mm), mid-range slump (150 to 200 mm) and high range slumps.

APPLICATIONS

POLYHEED® 852 R is recommended for any concrete where extend setting time, workability and superior finish is required, particularly in warm climates.  POLYHEED 852 R is recommended for high volumes of concrete that need extended setting and workability. 
POLYHEED 852 R can be used with air entraining admixtures, as long as the ASTM, AASHTO and CRD specifications are met.
