This document provides information on concrete additives from the company ISOMAT. It discusses several of their additive products, including ADIUM brands of polycarboxylate-based additives that improve properties like water reduction and flowability. The document provides descriptions, applications, consumption guidelines and packaging details for specific additives like ADIUM 110, 130, 132, 145, and 150. It also compares the performance of reference concrete mixes to mixes using these additives, showing improvements in slump retention and compressive strength.
3. CONCRETE ADDITIVES
OF ISOMAT
ISOMAT offers a full range of high quality chemical
additives for the concrete industry. The company’s
concrete additives product line includes water reducers,
setting and hardening accelerators, retarders and a wide
range of specialty additives.
The latest development in concrete additives is the
ADIUM brand, which consists of polycarboxylate based
additives. Compared to the conventional ones, they
predominate in the performance, because they offer high
water reduction, great flowability, or high slump retention
at low dosage.
These properties are attributed to the specifically
designed chemical structure, as well as to the unique
working mechanism of ADIUM, differing significantly from
the working mechanism of the conventional
superplasticizers, which are based on polymer chains of
modified lignosulfonates, sulphonated naphthalene-
based and melamine-based polycondensates.
The ADIUM products offer the maximum dispersibility of
the additive in the mix and help to avoid agglomeration.
You can contact ISOMAT's Sales and Technical Support
departments in order to find the most appropriate
additive for the properties of fresh or hardened concrete.

AQUAMAT ADMIX consists of cement and special active chemicals, which react
with moisture and free lime in fresh concrete, creating insoluble crystalline
compounds. These crystals seal the capillaries and minor shrinkage cracks
inside concrete and thus they offer protection against penetration of water
under strong hydrostatic pressure. It is suitable for any type of concrete element
that is constantly or temporarily in contact with water, such as foundations,
basements, water tanks, tunnels, canals, sewage and wastes treatment tanks,
swimming pools etc.
