Polyheed 1731
POLYHEED 1731 is a chloride free, mid range water
reducing admixture. It is based on selected water
soluble sulphonated polymers, each of which acts
optimally on the various constituents of Portland cement.
It is also effective on blended cements based on
Portland cement and other materials such as Pozzolans,
fly ash, and slags.
The use of POLYHEED 1731 helps in the production of
workable concrete with low water/cement ratios.
POLYHEED 1731 meets the requirements of ASTM
C494 for Types A and F admixtures.
POLYHEED 1731 increase the workability of concrete
and the duration of workability retention considerably.
POLYHEED 1731 maintains workability of fresh
concrete for a period of time. The duration of workability
retention depends on the ambient temperature, types of
cement and aggregates used, dosage rate and method
of transportation.
POLYHEED 1731 is compatible with both water
reducers and air entraining agents approved under
ASTM specifications but it should be dispensed
separately into the concrete mix. It should only be used
with water reducer after specific testing at proposed
dose rates, as certain combinations of dosages can
result in extended retardation.
