IZOZENĀ® IZONEP 503 PK

IZOZENĀ® IZONEP 503 PK is a high-performance plasticising and slump-retaining concrete admixture. It is a dual-action liquid superplasticiser that delivers excellent slump retention for prolonged periods, while also improving workability and strength.

Key Applications

This admixture can be used as a superplasticiser and as a water reducer in concrete.

As a Superplasticiser:

  • Improves workability.

  • Concrete is easier to place and needs less vibration.

  • Best for slender components with dense reinforcement.

  • Enhances cohesion, reduces segregation, and allows more placement time.

As a Water Reducer:

  • Provides significant water reduction.

  • Enhances final strength.

  • Dosage: 0.7 – 2.4% by weight of binder
    (Higher dosages may be used depending on mix design, raw materials, climate, and requirements. Trial mixes are recommended.)

  • Specific Gravity: ~1.20 kg/l at 25 °C

  • Air Content: Nil

  • Flash Point: None

  • Total Chloride Ion Content: <1%

  • Form: Sulphonated Naphthalene

  • Color: Dark Brown Liquid

  • Solid Content: ~38% by weight

Directions for Use

  • Follow standard concreting practices.

  • Fresh concrete must be properly cured, especially in hot weather, to avoid shrinkage.

  • Use IZOZENĀ® IZOCURE curing agents or wet hessian for best results.

Compatibility
  • Works with all types of Portland cement (OPC and SRC).

  • Compatible with concretes containing GGBS, PFA, micro-silica.

  • Trial mixes recommended when combining with other admixtures.

Typical Uses

IZOZENĀ® IZONEP 503 PK is suitable for:

  • Structural Concrete: slabs, foundations, walls, columns, piers.

  • Reinforced Components: slender parts with dense reinforcement, piles.

  • High Strength Applications: precast concrete, prestressed concrete, bridges, cantilever structures.

  • Hot and Tropical Conditions: effective under challenging climates.
