Product Description
ART-M231High Slump Retaining Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer
Description
ART-M231 is a high-performance, slump-retaining polycarboxylate superplasticizer independently developed by Aolite, designed to significantly extend the working time of concrete. This product is capable of functioning in extreme high-temperature conditions to some extent, making it specially designed for summer and tropical climates. ART-M231 uses a unique esterification process to modify all carboxyl groups in the polycarboxylate superplasticizer molecular structure. Initially, it has a certain dispersing ability, and as mixing time increases, the effective components of the product are gradually released, with the release time exceeding 5 hours. This significantly extends the working time of the concrete mix. Additionally, ART-M231 has excellent air entrainment regulation capabilities, greatly enhancing the mechanical properties and durability of concrete.
Main Characteristics
Designed specifically for summer and tropical climates (above 40°C).
Compatible with other dispersing agents, retarders, air-entraining agents, early-strength agents, or other additives to achieve different effects.
Suitable for gel systems of Portland cement and sulfoaluminate cement.
Excellent release curve with low sensitivity.
Significantly reduces the yield stress of mortar mixtures.
Good air entrainment regulation capability.
Improves the cohesion and water retention of the mix.
Greatly reduces the shrinkage of the mortar.
Enhances the durability of the hardened mixture.
Applications
Pre-mixed concrete for tropical environments.
Concrete mixtures requiring ultra-long working time.
Ready-mix concrete and pumpable concrete.
Concrete for bridges, highways, and railways.

Recommended Dosage
0.2% to 2.0% weight of binder
As the water-to-cement ratio decreases, the dosage should be increased. Additionally, ambient and raw material temperatures may cause fluctuations in the dosage within a certain range.
Packaging
Mainly packaged in plastic drums or bulk in tank trucks.
StorageStore in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, in a designated warehouse or fixed location.
The product has a shelf life of 1 year. If the shelf life is exceeded, it can still be used after testing and verification.
