MasterRheobuild 8501 - High range water reducing, set retarding, superplasticiser for rheoplastic concretes

How does MasterRheobuild 8501 work?

MasterRheobuild 8501 is composed of synthetic polymers specially designed to impart rheoplastic qualities to concrete. A rheoplastic concrete is a fluid concrete with a slump of at least 200 mm, easily flowing, but at the same time free from segregation and having the same water/cement ratio as that of a no-slump concrete (25 mm) with admixture.MasterRheobuild 8501 is chloride free.

Recommended uses:

• Ready mixed concrete
• Long hauls
• Pumped concrete
• Concrete containing Granulated Slag/
• Pozzolans
• Mass concrete pours
• Hot weather concreting

What makes MasterRheobuild 8501 a unique solution?

MasterRheobuild 8501 is for < M-40 grade concrete with longer workability retention, mainly for Ready Mix concrete.

What are the features and benefits of MasterRheobuild 8501?

• Reduced thermal peaks
• High workability for longer periods
• Lower pumping pressure
• Resistance to segregation even at high workability
• Extended setting with longer workability
• Reduced water content for a given workability
• Higher ultimate strengths
• Reduced permeability
• Improved durability
• Reduced shrinkage and creep
• Increased ease in finishing concrete
• Provides lower in-place cost
