IZOZENĀ® IZOCARB 3002 PK

IZOZENĀ® 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

Technical data

  • Form: Aqueous solution of modified polycarboxylates

  • Color: Light brown liquid

  • Specific Gravity: 1.09–1.01 kg/L @ 25 °C

  • pH Value: ~4.5 at 25 °C

  • Chloride Content: Nil

  • Air Content: < 1%

  • Flash Point: None

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: IZOZENĀ® IZOCURE or wet hessian.

  • Always carry out suitability tests on fresh concrete before pouring.

  • Do not add IZOZENĀ® 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.
