Donplast® HC4

Cement hydration controlling admixture

Donplast HC4 is a liquid admixture formulated from selected polymers specially designed to retard the setting time by controlling the hydration process of Portland cement and other cementitious materials for long time.
This effect can be used to keep concrete mixes workable for long time starting from 3 hours until 3 days.

  • Reduces concrete waste in case of changing concrete casting schedule.
  • Excellent retardation for long time up to 3 days.
  • Excellent slump retention for very long concrete deliveries.
  • Saves transit mixers drums in case of accidents.
  • Reduces the needed amount of water to clean the transit mixer.
  • Chloride-free.
Applications
  • For wet type shotcrete.
  • For long-distance concrete delivery.
  • High-performance concrete.

Packaging

Donplast HC4 is available in 5 gal (19 litre) containers as well as 275 gal (1,041 litre) IBC totes. Bulk supply in tanker trucks is also available upon request.

Storage

Donplast HC4 has a minimum shelf life of 12 months from date of manufacture if stored properly in its original unopened packing at temperatures between 35°F and 122°F (2°C and 50°C).

Dosage

The recommended dosage of Donplast HC4 is between 0.75 to 35 fl oz/100 lb (50 to 2,300 ml/100 kg) of cementitious materials in the mix, including GGBFS, PFA or micro-silica.
Actual dosage depends on the desired retardation. Representative trials should first be conducted to
determine the optimum dosage of Donplast HC4 to meet the performance requirements by using the materials and conditions in actual use.

Standards

Donplast HC4 complies with the requirements of Specification for Chemical Admixture for Concrete ASTM C494 as a Type B and D admixture.
