​MasterPolyheed 8830

New generation mid-range water-reducing admixture designed to improve the performance of concrete in both the plastic and hardened states

How does MasterPolyheed 8830 work?

MasterPolyheed 8830 is a multi-component, non-chloride, mid-range water reducing admixture designed to improve the performance of concrete both in the plastic and hardened states. It is added at the batch plant after 75% of water has been added to the mix. 

Recommended uses:

• All types of concrete where a non-chloride water reducing admixture is required, especially in the slump band (80 -150mm)
• Improving the performance of pumped concrete, shotcrete and conventionally placed concrete
• Improving the performance of plain, reinforced, precast, light weight or standard weight concrete
• Use in white or coloured concrete
• Use in architectural concrete, especially where off-form and/or surface finish is critical
• Use in concrete containing harsh aggregates and/or manufactured sand

What makes MasterPolyheed 8830 unique solution?

Non-chloride water reducing admixture enables mid-range concrete slump of 80-150mm.

What are the benefits of MasterPolyheed 8830?

In the plastic state:

• normal setting characteristics throughout the recommended dose range
• reduced segregation, particularly in lean mixes and mid slump concrete
• improved mix rheology
• improved pumpability
• reduced water content for a given workability
• enhanced finishability, especially for concrete with manufactured or harsh aggregates

In the hardened concrete:

• no added chlorides, conforms to the most stringent chloride ion limits including AS3600 concrete structures code, will not initiate or promote the corrosion of reinforcing steel
• increased strength – compressive, flexural and bond (concrete to steel)
• superior finished appearance
• increased density and durability
• reduced permeability – improved watertightness
• reduced cracking
