Product Description
WRDA® PA is a non-chloride, highly purified, polymer-based water-reducing set-accelerating admixture formulated to produce concrete with enhanced water reduction. It is effective through a wide addition range. WRDA PA combines the benefit of stronger water reduction, shorter finishing time and superior strength development.
WRDA PA meets and exceeds AS 1478 - 2000 Type WRAc. WRDA PA contains no added chlorides and when dosed at 1,200mL / 100kg of total cementitious material, contains Triethanolamine (TEA) below 0.05%. WRDA PA is manufactured under rigid controls to ensure uniform predictable performance. It is supplied as a clear and low viscosity liquid with a specific gravity of approximately 1.380kg ± 0.02kg.
One litre of Daracem 19A weighs approximately 1.2kg ± 0.02kg.
Features
- WRDA PA will increase stripping strengths for quicker form or mould turn around.
- Improve finishing times during colder months.
- Accelerate initial and final sets through a range of temperatures.
- Increase water reduction to enhance concrete strengths and higher required workability.
- Can increase de-stressing strengths in pre-stressed applications.
- Enhance pumpability and finishability.
- WRDA PA does not initiate or promote the corrosion of reinforcing steel when used at the recommended dose rates.
Uses
WRDA PA is used in all types of pre-mix and pre-cast applications where a non-chloride, water-reducing set-accelerating admixture is required. All types of concrete that have chloride ion restraints such as coastal applications.
Compatibility with Other Admixtures
WRDA PA in combination with an air entrainer can have a synergistic effect, and so increase the air content. It is highly recommended that truck trials be conducted to achieve specified air content. Please consult your local GCP representative for dosage guidelines.
WRDA PA can be used in conjunction with ADVA® range of high range water reducers. Each admixture should be added separately to the mix.
WRDA PA cannot be used in conjunction with DAREX® Super 20, DARACEM® or Daracem 19A.
Packaging & Storage
WRDA PA is available in bulk and 205L drum.
Shelf life is 12 months.
