Advantages

  • Improved surface finish.

  • Homogenous distribution of cement, mineral additives and pigments.

  • Decreases friction between the concrete and the mould.

  • Increases mould filling speed.

  • Shortens compaction time.

  • Reduces stickiness between concrete top surface and compaction equipment.

  • Increases freeze-thaw stability.

  • Increases initial and ultimate compressive and tensile strength.

  • Increases concrete stability and service life.

  • Enables a more economic concrete production.

  • Increases productivity.

  • 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

  • Paving stone production

  • Curbstones

  • Concrete tiles

  • Building blocks and bricks

  • Garden and landscaping elements

Terms of Use
  • Concrete mix design and admixture dosage should be determined by laboratory tests according to the concrete class and properties.
  • It should not be used in flowable concrete production. It may cause excessive air entrainment and loss of strength of concrete.
Consumption Dosage

ARSET ZERO SERIES products’ dosage should be adjusted according to the total amount of binder in the mixture design. This ratio varies according to the cement, aggregate, mineral additive, water components used in concrete mixture design and also the desired fresh and hardened concrete properties. Therefore, before determining the usage rate, laboratory tests should be made according to the properties expected from fresh and hardened concrete and the mixing ratio should be determined according to these tests.

Method of Application

Aggregates and the binder (cement-silica fume-fly ash-blast furnace slag) should be mixed until obtaining a homogenous mixture. After adding 70% of mixing water into the dry mixture, ARSTEP ZERO SERIES products should be added into the rest of water and should be mixed properly.

Compatibility with Other Admixtures

ARSET ZERO SERIES products can be combined with the following admixtures. Laboratory tests should be carried out before use.

  • Arset Air Series
  • Arset Doz Series
  • Arset Fast Series
  • Arset Friz
  • Arset Retard Series
  • Arset Zero Series

 

Packaging
  • 30 kg plastic drum
  • 250 kg drum
  • 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.

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 ZERO SERIES products are not flammable. For detailed safety information please consult the product’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
