COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS
Arset SA 40     TS EN 934-2    
           
Advantages

  • It is used with normal and superplasticizers. However, it is not recommended to be used with additives that have a retarding effect.

  • Depending on the cement type and the temperature of the product, it significantly increases the early strength of the material in the first 24 hours.

  • Do not contain chloride or any other components that result in corrosion in the reinforcements. Therefore, it is suitable for use in reinforced concrete structures.

 

Areas of Use

  • In the production of concrete and mortar where early high strength is required

  • Concrete and mortar applications in cold weather conditions

  • In cement and gypsum-based products where early strength is required

Terms of Use

Concrete mix design and admixture dosage should be determined by laboratory tests according to the concrete class and properties.

Consumption Dosage

It is used at a ratio of 1.0-2.5% of the total mass. Optimum utilization rate should be determined according to laboratory trials.

Method of Application

ARSET SA 40 can be added to the mixing water or added to fresh concrete before discharge at the construction site. In this case, it will be sufficient to extend the mixing time for 1-2 minutes in order for the concrete mixture to be homogeneous.

Compatibility with Other Admixtures

ARSET SA 40 can be combined with the following admixtures. Laboratory tests should be carried out before use.

  • Arstep/ Arstep Extra/ Degaset Series Admixtures

  • Arset Air Series

  • Arset Doz

  • Arset Zero Series

 

Packaging
  • 30 kg plastic drum
  • 250 kg drum
  • Arstep / Arstep Extra/ Degaset Series Admixtures
  • Arset Air Series
  • Arset Doz
  • Arset Zero Series
  • 1000 kg container
Storage and Shelf Life

Shelf life is 12 months from the date of production when stored in original unopened and undamaged packages (drums, barrels, IBC containers) at temperatures between +5 °C and +35 °C, protecting from direct sunlight, excessive heat and frost.

If the product has waited for a long time, make it homogeneous by mixing slowly at low speed with mechanical methods before using the product.

Some subsidence may occur during long-term storage. In this case, the product can be used by filtering.

Make sure that the product does not freeze. If the product freezes, it should be thawed by keeping it at room temperature without using direct heat and mixed by mechanical methods until it becomes homogeneous.

Safety Measures

Use protective clothes, gloves, glasses and mask compatible with health and safety regulations during the application. Avoid direct contact with eyes and skin during storing and application, in case of contact wash off thoroughly with soap and water, if ingested seek medical attention immediately. Store away from all foodstuffs. Keep away from children. ARSET SA 40 is not flammable. For detailed safety information please consult the product’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
