CEMENTOL ® B NOVI Hardening accelerating admixture, SIST EN 934-2: T7 with antifreeze affect Concreting at low temperatures. FIELD OF APPLICATION Cementol B NOVI is a chemical admixture for concrete, used for concreting at low temperatures. Its action combines the effects of a hardening accelerating admixture and antifreeze, so as to accelerate the attaining of the necessary strength of 5 MPa before concrete is exposed to freezing. ACCORDANCE WITH THE SIST EN 934-2 STANDARD Property Declared values with acceptable deviation Appearance Light brown liquid Relative density, 20°C (1,13 ± 0,03) kg/dm 3 Conventional dry material content (20,5 ± 1,0) % pH 7,5 ± 1,5 Water soluble chloride content (Cl - ) Chloride free Alkali content (Na 2 O equivalent) < 8 % ACTION Cementol B NOVI lowers the freezing point of water and simultaneously accelerates the hydration reaction of cement minerals. It improves the workability of fresh concrete or enables a reduction of mixing water for ca. 5% for equal workability. It can be used for concreting at lower temperatures if precautions for winter concreting are taken into account. DOSAGE AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE • Dosage: 1 - 2% of the cement weight (1 to 2 kg per 100 kg of cement), depending on the desired effects and working conditions. • Cementol B NOVI must be diluted with mixing water and then added to dry concrete mixture in order to spread equally throughout the mixture. Warning • Winter concreting demands special care and all precautions for winter concreting should be taken into account! • The minimum temperature of the concrete mixture has to be + 5°C. Freshly concreted surfaces in the open air have to be protected with appropriate isolating materials. • The effect of the admixture can be heightened by using cement with higher hydration heat, by increasing the cement content and lowering the water-cement ratio. • A lower water-cement ratio is achieved by adding plasticizers Cementol Delta Ekstra/ Delta Ekstra W, superplasticizers Cementol Zeta-conc./ P-conc./ T-conc., hiperplasticizers Cementol Hiperplast 170/ 179/ 463/ 481/ 974 or Cementol Zeta Super S/ PLUS to the concrete mixture • The stated effects of Cementol B NOVI can only be achieved by following the instructions given above.
