Application Areas
Used in RCC floors, walls, and slabs,it is ideal for mass concrete casting to create dry walls,suitable for bridges and marine structures & effective in deicing areas.
Advantages
- Corrosion Resistant & Highly Impermeable: Provides excellent protection against water ingress and chloride-induced corrosion.
- Easily Dispersible & Compatible with RCC: Mixes well with reinforced cement concrete.
- Highly Compressive Strength: Enhances the compressive strength of the concrete.
- Reduces Shrinkage Crack Development: Minimizes the occurrence of shrinkage cracks.
- Provides Greater Workability: Improves the workability of the concrete mix.
- Increases Durability of Concrete: Extends the lifespan and durability of concrete structures.
Application Methodology
Dry Mix: Cement, sand, and aggregate in a concrete mixer for 2 minutes.
Add Water: Add 75-80% of the required water into the mix and mix for 3 minutes.
Add IW++: Mix IW++ in the remaining water at a ratio of 200 ml per bag of cement, then add it to the wet mix and mix for an additional 2 minutes.
Placement: Place the concrete or apply plaster as needed.
Curing: Cure the applied mortar or concrete as per good construction practices.
Air Entraining Agent: If using an air-entraining agent, conduct a pre-blend trial to determine the appropriate dosage as IW++ increases air-producing efficiency.
Compatibility: It is compatible with all types of Portland cement, including SRC (Sulphate Resistance Cement), but not with high alumina cement.
