PANTARHIT^® BV 40

High effective plasticizer for concrete

Item No. 0106/E

FIELDS OF APPLICATION

PANTARHIT^® BV 40 is a sulphonated plasticizer with slight retarding effects and particularly suitable for producing ready-mix concrete under hot weather conditions.

The product is mainly formulated for concrete applications where good workability and high slump retention are required. Delaying the initial and final setting of concrete PANTARHIT^® BV 40 allows avoiding the incidence of cold joints.

PANTARHIT^® BV 40 is applied to enhance concrete’s consistency classes e.g. from S2 up to S3 or to reduce the quantity of tempering water.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

PANTARHIT^® BV 40 reduces the surface tension of water and ensures a strong plasticizing effect thereby. This leads on to a significant improvement in concrete’s workability, pumpability, levelability and compaction.

DOSAGE | APPLICATION QUANTITY

The general dosage range is 0.2 – 1.0 mass-% of the cement content.
