RHEOBUILD® 1000

A superplasticising admixture to produce rheoplastic concrete

DESCRIPTION 60
RHEOBUILD 1000 is a superplasticising admixture that

contains a sulphonated polymer. It is chloride free and
is specially formulated to impart rheoplastic qualities to
concrete. 40

Rheoplastic concrete is a fluid concrete with a slump 30

at the same time is free from segregation and has the 20
same water/cement ratio as that of a no-slump concrete
without additive. 10
RHEOBUILD 1000 has been formulated to meet the
requirements of ASTM C494 for Type A & F & BS 5075 0
admixtures. 1 day 3 days 7 days 28 days
