FAIRCRETE R3 is a formulated blend of polymeric materials based on hydrolysed carbohydrate derivatives. It is designed to give maximum cement particles' dispersion without producing unwanted secondary side effects. This results in good, dense concrete having exceptionally high strength. FAIRCRETE R3 acts as a normal water reducing admixture at low to medium rates. At higher dosage, it acts as a retarding plasticiser. The amount of retardation will also depend on chemical composition of the cement and concrete temperature.

1. FAIRCRETE R3
HIGH PERFORMANCE WATER REDUCING
AND RETARDING ADMIXTURE

2. Benefits
 Increases Strength : Water reduction of upto 12% leads to high
ultimate (28 days) strength without increase in cement content.
 Improves Durability : Improves durability by increasing density
and lowering permeability. Reduces shrinkage cracking because
of lower W/C ratio.
 Larger Pours : Extends setting time at higher dosages enable
larger volume of concrete to be placed, thus avoiding cold joints.
 Chloride Free : Safe in prestressed concrete and with Sulphate
Resisting Cements and in marine conditions.

3. Product
FAIRCRETE R3 complies with the requirements of BS : 5075 Part-1
and ASTM C-494 A & D as well as IS : 9103-79.

4. Uses
FAIRCRETE R3 is a high performance plasticiser which allows large
water reductions resulting in significant increase in early and ultimate
strengths. Increased workability can be achieved without loss in
strength. FAIRCRETE R3 can be used as a retarding, water-
reducing admixture at higher dosages.
