CONFLOW
NP
Water Reducer Cum Plasticiser
Introduction
CONFLOW
NP is a concrete plasticiser suitable for concrete grades up to
M25. The product is based on processed lignosulfonates & is
supplied as brown liquid in different suitable packaging. When water
is added to the concrete mix, the cement particles clump together.
CONFLOW NP improves the dispersion of the agglomerates with in the
concrete ensuring that cement is used in the best possible efficiency.
This process also releases the water logged in the cement particles.
Hence the dispersion of water increases the workability of the concrete.
It is possible to reduce 8 to 12 % of water requirement for given
workability. The product improves the cohesion, reduces the segregation
of the ingredients & bleeding of cement slurry. Reduced water
content & increased density ensures better hydration & hydration
products resulting in more durable concrete.
AREAS
OF USAGE:
1. All R.C.C. structure up to M/25.
2. Intermediate slabs, beams & columns.
3. Precast elements.
4. Floor laying.
