    RHEOBUILD 890 is a high range water-reducing superplasticizer formulated from synthetic polymers to impart rheoplastic qualities to concrete, allowing it to flow easily while preventing segregation. It improves the properties of fresh and hardened concrete used in applications such as microsilica concrete, mass concrete pours, pumped concrete, and casting in hot climates. RHEOBUILD 890 is compatible with most cements and air-entraining agents, and ensures workability in concrete for over 3 hours at 20°C.

    RHEOBUILD 890

    High range, water-reducing superplasticiser for rheoplastic concretes


    Description of Product RHEOBUILD 890 is formulated from synthetic polymers specially designed to impart rheoplastic qualities to concrete. A rheoplastic concrete is a fluid concrete with a slump of at least 200mm, easily flowing, but at the same time free from segregation and having the same w/c ratio as that of a low slump concrete (25mm) without admixture. RHEOBUILD 890 is chloride-free. Advantages RHEOBUILD 890 considerably improves properties of fresh and hardened concrete. Primary Uses Microsilica concrete Mass concrete pours Ready-mixed concrete Long-distance transport Pumped concrete Casting in hot climates To obtain Reduced thermal peaks High workability for longer periods Lower pumping pressure Delayed setting with longer workability Higher ultimate strengths Reduced permeability Improved durability Compatibility RHEOBUILD 890 is compatible with all cements and most air-entraining agents meeting the ASTM standards. The addition of RHEOBUILD 890 and MICRO-AIR 111 (air-entraining agent) to concrete is recommended where it is required to withstand freezing and thawing cycles Packaging RHEOBUILD 890 is available in bulk or in 210ltr drums. the Typical Properties Colour: Specific gravity: Air-entrainment: Chloride content: Nitrate content: Freezing point:

    Dark brown liquid 1.21 Maximum 1% Nil to BS 5075 Nil 0 can be reconstituted if C; stirred after thawing

    Standards ASTM C-494 Type B, D and G Dosage Optimum dosage of RHEOBUILD 890 should be determined in trial mixes. As a guide, the following dosages are recommended as a starting point for any trial: in normal concrete, a dosage of between 0.8-2ltr/100kg of cement; in high performance microsilica concrete, a dosage of between 1.53ltr/100kg of cement. Dependent upon mix requirement, it is possible to use a higher dosage of RHEOBUILD 890 without causing any adverse effects upon the concrete. Please consult BASFs Technical Services Department for further information.

    Adding Value to Concrete

    RHEOBUILD 890
    Dispensing RHEOBUILD 890 is a ready-to-use liquid, which is dispensed into the concrete together with mixing water. The plasticising effect, or water reduction, is higher if the admixture is added to the concrete after 50-70% of the mixing water has been added. The addition of RHEOBUILD 890 to dry aggregate or cement is not recommended. Automatic dispensers are available. Workability RHEOBUILD 890 ensures that rheoplastic concrete remains workable in excess of 3 hours at +20 C. Workability loss is dependent on temperature, on the type of cement, the nature of aggregates, the method of transport and initial workability. It is strongly recommended that concrete should be properly cured particularly in hot and dry climates. Storage RHEOBUILD 890 must be stored where temperatures do not drop below +5 If product C. has frozen, thaw and agitate until completely reconstituted. Store under cover, out of direct sunlight and protect from extremes of temperature. Failure to comply with the recommended storage conditions may result in premature deterioration of the product or packaging. For specific storage advice, consult BASF's Technical Services Department. Shelf Life Up to 24 months if stored according to manufacturers instructions in unopened containers. Safety Precautions RHEOBUILD 890 is not a fire or health hazard. Spillages should be washed down immediately with cold water. For further information, refer to the material safety data sheet.
