    Conplast SP430 is a superplasticizing admixture that improves concrete workability and strength. It allows for major water reduction without compromising workability. This leads to increased early and ultimate concrete strengths. Conplast SP430 is especially suitable for precast concrete where early stripping and handling is important. It provides flowing concrete that is easier to place and finish without increasing water content.

    Conplast SP430*

    High performance superplasticising admixture

    constructive solutions

    Uses ! To provide excellent acceleration of strength gain at early ages and major increases in strength at all ages by significantly reducing water demand in a concrete mix. ! Particularly suitable for precast concrete and other high early strength requirements. ! To significantly improve the workability of site mixed and precast concrete without increasing water demand. ! To provide improved durability by increasing ultimate strengths and reducing concrete permeability. Advantages ! Major increases in strength at early ages without increased cement contents are of particular benefit in precast concrete, allowing earlier stripping times. ! Makes possible major reductions in water:cement ratio which allow the production of high strength concrete without excessive cement contents. ! Use in production of flowing concrete permits easier construction with quicker placing and compaction and reduced labour costs without increasing water content. ! Increased workability levels are maintained for longer than with ordinary sulphonated melamine admixtures. ! Improved cohesion and particle dispersion minimises segregation and bleeding and improves pumpability. ! Chloride free, safe for use in prestressed and reinforced concrete. Standards compliance Conplast SP430 conforms with BSEN 934-2, BS 5075 Part 3 and with ASTM C494 as Type A and Type F, depending on dosage used. Conplast SP430 complies with the requirements of the United Kingdom Water Fittings Byelaws Scheme and is listed in the Directory of Materials as suitable for use in contact with potable water under its previous name of Conplast 430. Description Conplast SP430 is a chloride free, superplasticising admixture based on selected sulphonated napthalene polymers. It is supplied as a brown solution which instantly disperses in water.

    Technical support Fosroc provides a technical advisory service for on-site assistance and advice on mix design, admixture selection, evaluation trials and dispensing equipment. Dosage The optimum dosage of Conplast SP430 to meet specific requirements should always be determined by trial mixes using the materials and conditions that will be experienced in use. For high strength, water reduced concrete the normal dosage range is from 1.00 to 3.00 litres/100 kg of cementitious material, including PFA, GGBFS and microsilica. For high workability concrete the normal dosage range is from 0.70 to 2.00 litres/100 kg of cementitious material. Use at other dosages Dosages outside the typical ranges quoted above can be used to meet particular requirements. Contact Fosroc for advice. Effects of overdosing An overdose of double the amount of Conplast SP430 will result in an increase in retardation as compared to that normally obtained. Provided that adequate curing is maintained, the ultimate strength of the concrete will not be impaired by increased retardation and will generally be increased. The effects of overdosing will be further increased if sulphate resisting cement or cement replacement materials are used. Properties Appearance Specific gravity BSEN 934-2) Water soluble chloride (BSEN 934-2) Alkali content (BSEN 934-2) Instructions for use Mix design Where the main requirement is to improve strengths, initial trials should be made with normal concrete mix designs. The addition of the admixture will allow the removal of water from the mix whilst maintaining workability. After initial trials, minor modifications to the overall mix design may be made to optimise performance. : : : : Brown liquid 1.18 @ 22C + 2C Nil Typically less than 55g.

    Conplast SP430 disperses the fine particles in the concrete mix, enabling the water content of the concrete to perform more effectively. The very high levels of water reduction possible allow major increases in strength to be obtained.

    Where the main requirement is to provide high workability concrete, the mix design should be one suitable for use as a pump mix. Advice on mix design for flowing concrete is available from Fosroc. Compatibility Conplast SP430 is compatible with other Fosroc admixtures used in the same concrete mix. All admixtures should be added to the concrete separately and must not be premixed together prior to addition. The resultant properties of concrete containing more than one admixture should be assessed by trial mixes. Conplast SP430 is suitable for use with all types of Portland cements, SRC cements and cement replacement materials such as PFA, GGBFS and microsilica. The use of a combination of admixtures in the same concrete mix and or cement replacements may alter the setting time. Trials should always be conducted to determine such setting times. Dispensing The correct quantity of Conplast SP430 should be measured by means of a recommended dispenser. Normally, the admixture should then be added to the concrete with the mixing water to obtain the best results. Where high workability concrete is required from normal workability concrete delivered to site, Conplast SP430 may also be added to concrete direct into a readymix truck. Full blending of the admixture and the concrete should be ensured by mixing at high speed for a period of at least two minutes. Contact Fosroc for advice regarding suitable equipment and its installation. Storage Conplast SP430 has a minimum shelf life of 12 months provided the temperature is kept within the range of 2C to 50C. Should the temperature of the product fall outside this range contact Fosroc for advice. Freezing point: Approximately -2C Estimating - packaging Conplast SP430 is available in 210 litre drums or bulk supply. For larger users, storage tanks can be supplied. Precautions Health and safety Conplast SP430 does not fall into the hazard classifications of current regulations. However, it should not be swallowed or allowed to come into contact with skin and eyes. Suitable protective gloves and goggles should be worn. Splashes on the skin should be removed with water. In case of contact with eyes rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. If swallowed seek medical attention immediately - do not induce vomiting. For further information consult the Material Safety Data Sheet available for this product. Fire Conplast SP430 is water based and non-flammable. Cleaning and disposal Spillages of Conplast SP430 should be absorbed onto sand, earth or vermiculite and transferred to suitable containers. Remnants should be hosed down with large quantities of water. The disposal of excess or waste material should be carried out in accordance with local legislation under the guidance of the local waste regulatory authority. Additional information Conplast SP430 was previously known as Conplast 430.
