    CEMTEC-120 SP is a concentrated aqueous solution of organic polymers that functions as a superplasticizer and retarder for concrete. It improves workability and strength of concrete by allowing for water reduction of up to 40% while maintaining slump. CEMTEC-120 SP produces self-leveling concrete with higher compressive strength than plain concrete and maintains workability for 2-4 hours. It improves durability by reducing permeability up to 1000 times compared to plain concrete.

    CEMTEC-120 SP
    SUPERPLASTICIZER AND
    RETARDER FOR NORMAL
    AND READY-MIX CONCRETE
    (ASTM-C 494 TYPE D & G)
    DESCRIPTION:
    CEMTEC-120/SP is a concentrated ready-to-use
    aqueous solution of organic polymers with high
    plasticizing effect. CEMTEC-120/SP contains
    no chlorides and complies with ASTM specification C494 requirements for Type D and Type
    G admixtures.
    Its specific gravity is 1.21
    The fluidizing action of CEMTEC-120/SP provides:
    SELF-LEVELING CONCRETE
    A plain, 2 - 3 cm slump concrete becomes selfleveling and attains a slump of 21 cm. or more
    following the addition of CEMTEC-120/SP. The
    concrete is flowable and highly cohesive with
    no segregation.
    Bleeding is usually below 0.05 cm3/cm2.
    COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH
    A Self-leveling concrete admixture with
    CEMTEC-120 SP will have the same or higher
    compressive strength compared to plain nonslump concrete.
    SLUMP MAINTENANCE
    Concrete with CEMTEC-120 SP maintains the
    self-leveling properties from 2 - 4 hours at a
    temperature of 20oC, depending on the type and
    dosage of the cement.
    Beyond this time workability will decrease gradually.
    HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE
    The addition of CEMTEC-120 SP to plain concrete allows a water reduction of up to 30-40%,
    while maintaining the same slump.
    The concrete will be easy to place, nonsegregable and will require a shorter vibration
    time compared to plain concrete with the same
    workability.
    COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH
    Compressive strength versus plain concrete at
    the same slump, will increase proportionally, up
    to 50% and over, depending on water reduction.
    At early ages mechanical strength may be lower
    due to the retarding action of CEMTEC-120/SP
    SLUMP MAINTENANCE

    High Strength concrete obtained with CEMTEC120/SP has a workability time comparable with
    a plain concrete at equal slump.
    PERMEABILITY AND DURABILITY
    CEMTEC-120/SP reduces concrete porosity and
    so produces a more water-proof concrete. Observation has shown that water penetration has
    been reduced by factors of up to 1,000 times
    below that of plain concrete at the same slump.
    Reduced porosity and increased waterproofness, resulting from the use of CEMTEC120/SP especially if combined with CEMTEC Air
    Entraining Agent, provide durable concrete, with
    high resistance to freeze-thaw cycles and chemical agents such as sulphates, seawater, deicing salts, etc.
    HOMOGENEITY
    Compressive strengths in concrete treated with
    CEMTEC-120/SP have a lower variance allowing the operators to rely on more homogeneous
    mixes.
    OTHER ADVANTAGES:
    l CEMTEC-120/SP can be introduced in the
    mix at the batching plant, allowing the regular transportation and discharge of selfleveling or fluid concrete.
    l Reduction in placing and vibration time,
    especially in highly reinforced structures.
    l Better pumpability.
    l Better surface finish, also applicable to
    light weight aggregates.
    l Higher wear resistance.
    l Improved bonding between concrete and
    reinforcing bars.
    l Lower shrinkage due to reduced w/c ratio.
    USES
    In all types of concrete normal or ready-mix for
    hot weather concreting
    ADDITION RATES:
    Addition rate of CEMTEC-120/SP ranges from
    0.7 to 1.5 per 100 kgs. of cement, depending on
    job conditions and purpose of work.
    COMPATIBILITY:
    CEMTEC-120/SP can be used with all types of
    cement and can be combined with CEMTEC

    Air Entraining Agent when an improved durability is required.


    DISPENSING:
    CEMTEC-120/SP should be added directly in
    the mixer. In ready-mixed concrete CEMTEC120/SP can be added at the batching plant taking into account that the self-levelling property
    will last for 2 - 4 hours at ambient temperature.
    PRECAUTIONS:
    Concrete improved with CEMTEC-120/SP has
    to be carefully cured to avoid water evaporation, specially in slabs and exposed concrete.
    CEMTEC-120/SP should not be stored at a temperature below 0 oC. In case of freezing,
    CEMTEC-120/SP should be heated and stirred
    before using.
    PACKAGING
    CEMTEC-120/SP is delivered in 210 ltr. drums,
    1000 ltrs containers or in 10,000 ltr. bulk tanks.
