Product Description
ADVA® Cast 207 is a polymer-based high range water-reducing admixture that is specially designed for producing superior high early strength concrete in precast applications. ADVA Cast 207 contains no added chloride. It is formulated to comply with specifications for chemical admixtures for concrete: ASTM C 494, Type F. One litre weighs approximately 1.10kg ± 0.02kg.
Dispersion
ADVA Cast 207 is a superior dispersing admixture, having a marked capacity to disperse cement agglomerates normally found in a cement-water suspension. The capability of ADVA Cast 207 exceeds that of normal water-reducing admixtures (Type WR) and high range water reducers (Type HWR), resulting in lower dosages and better performance.
Product Advantages
- Superior early strength enhancement
- High workability
- Superior surface finish
- Superior water reduction
- Optimise precast concrete production
Applications
ADVA Cast 207 produces concrete with high early strength for precast concrete elements, while at the same time achieving high workability for easy and fast placement of concrete. It also allows concrete to be produced with very low water-cement ratios in low to high slump ranges.
Addition Rates
Addition rates of ADVA Cast 207 can vary with type of applications, but will normally range from 200 to 700mL / 100kg of cementitious material. In most instances, the addition of 300 to 600mL / 100kg of cementitious material will be sufficient. Should conditions require using more than recommended addition rates, please consult your local GCP representative.
Compatibility
ADVA Cast 207 is compatible with most water-reducing admixtures as well as specialty admixtures like accelerators, DCI® Corrosion Inhibitor, ECLIPSE® shrinkage-reducing admixture and V-MAR® rheology-modifying admixture. All admixtures should be separately added to the concrete. Pre-testing of the concrete should be performed to optimise dosages and addition sequence of these admixtures. ADVA Cast 207 should not be used with naphthalene-based products.
