OPTIMUM 380 Premium Superplasticizer

OPTIMUM 380 Premium High Range Superplasticizer, Gallon

Modified polycarboxylated high range water reducing admixture formulated to produce self-compacting type (S.C.C.) concrete.  

• Produces extremely high spread rates
• High early strengths with improved densification of surfaces
• Improves workability and greater fluidity with reduced or minimal vibration 
• Improves dispersing action resulting in concrete with “self placing” properties
• Very low water to cement ratios can be obtained with as much as 25-30% total water reduction.
• Greater water reduction and lower dosage rates than comparable S.C.C superplasticizers
• Improves flow (self leveling) with self-healing rheology
• Typical dosage rates approximately 40% less than of standard melamine and naphthalene based superplasticizers, while maintaining the same percent water reduction.
• Available in 1-gallon, 5-gallon & 55-gallon sizes

Recommended Dosage:

• 3-5 ounces per 100 lbs. of cement (56 –93 ml/100 kg)
• A good starting point and very easy way to calculate dosage is 1-mL per 1-pound of cementicious material.  So if you have 34pounds of Portland simply add 34mL of OPTIMUM 380.
