IZOZEN® IZOCARB 3002 PK

IZOZEN® IZOCARB 3002 PK is a liquid admixture for concrete and mortar, designed as a high-range water reducer or superplasticiser. It works through electrostatic adsorption and steric repulsion, effectively dispersing solid particles. This results in high fluidity, strong plasticising effects, and significant water reduction.

Key Benefits:

High water reduction
Strong self-compacting behavior
Improved trowel-ability & surface finish
Increased density and strength
Reduced shrinkage, creep, and permeability
Early strength development
Faster removal of formwork
Reduced curing requirements
Chloride-free and safe for reinforced/prestressed concrete
Suitable for hot and tropical climates

Directions for Use

Follow standard concreting practices for production and placement.
Ensure proper curing, especially in hot climates, to avoid plastic or drying shrinkage.
Recommended curing agents: IZOZEN® IZOCURE or wet hessian.
Always carry out suitability tests on fresh concrete before pouring.
Do not add IZOZEN® IZOCARB 3002 PK directly to dry cement.
In case of accidental overdosing: expect extended setting times, increased workability, and possible air entrainment. Concrete must be kept moist during this period.

Dosage

Medium workability: 0.2–0.8 % by weight of cement
High workability / SCC: 1.0–2.0 % by weight of cement
Higher dosages may be used depending on mix design, raw materials, and site conditions.
Always confirm dosage with trial mixes.

Compatibility

Compatible with all types of Portland cement (OPC, SRC).
Works well with concretes containing pozzolanic materials like GGBS, PFA, and microsilica.
When combining with other admixtures, trial mixes are recommended.
