Physical characteristics of materials made with use of Flux-1:

Flux-1 keeps the proper quantity of water in the concrete mixture and prevents overbatching. The quantity of make-up water is remarkably limited by strong plasticization. Owing to this property water doesn't appear on the surface during the mould filling and vibration. During the mixing small air bells appear in the mixture. After the hydration process the air bells are crystallized and break the vertical capillaries, which are very damaging in the hardened concrete.

This positive propriety of Flux-1 causes the remarkable increase in concrete bending and compression strength ( 30 % ) in comparison with the control concrete. The flexibilizer prevents the sticking of concrete to the shores. The moulds used to the material forming needn't be additionally lubricated.

The perfect plasticizing of the mixtures makes easy the distribution of the concrete mix during the work. The great consolidation of concrete mix as well as smooth and homogenous surface are obtained in every element made with the addition of superplasticizer. Concrete and mortar made with using of Flux-1 are freezeproof and little absorbable. Flux-1 makes easy pumping and overflowing of concrete. It reduces washing the concrete mixer and pumps to a minimum. It doesn't change the colour of the concrete mixture.
