DESCRIPTION:GK-4A represents a SNF based superplasticizer, which is optimized for to achieve significant workability retention. It is a powder product.
USES:GK-4A is widely uilized in large volume (mass) concrete, hydraulic concrete and roller compacted concrete (RCC) with requirements of set retardation and low hydration heat evolvement.
CHARACTERISTICS:
GK-4A offers the following advantages:
* Water reduction above 15% can be reached;
* Improved workability of fresh concrete, avoiding bleeding;
* No negative effect on final strength of concrete;
* No additional shrinkage;
* Good adaptability;
* Offers strong dispersion effect on cement particles.
