Benefits

• Accelerates initial and final set
• Improves early-strength development
• Reduces waiting time before finishing
• Assists earlier formwork removal
• Suitable for cold-weather concreting
• Chloride-free formulation, reducing risk of rusting / corrosion to reo bars and concrete cancer
• Ready-to-use liquid

Directions for Use

Recommended Dosage

Method of Addition

1. Add directly into the concrete mixer or agitator after the batch water has been introduced.
2. Do not add directly onto dry cement.
3. Mix thoroughly for at least 2 minutes after addition to ensure uniform distribution throughout the concrete.
4. Where other admixtures are used, add each product separately unless compatibility has been confirmed.

Important

• Rapid slump loss
• Reduced placing and finishing time
• Excessively rapid setting
• Variable concrete performance

Use Recommendations

SPRAYING ON: Use a garden sprayer to evenly apply the product onto freshly laid concrete.  Apply Agrispose as soon the Bleeding has finished but before the concrete has set.  Please note that the “bleed water” should be removed prior to applying Agrispose to prevent dilution of the product. Care must also be taken to protect the freshly treated surface from direct sunlight, warm winds or conditions that can cause the product to dry out.

REMOVING: Once the product has been applied, allow the concrete slab to partially cure for 2 to 12 hours (curing times vary greatly) and then broom and wash off top layer of concrete paste and Agrispose to expose the underlying aggregate. Care must be taken to ensure that Agrispose paste is removed within 2 -12 hours as the Agrispose will only retard the setting of the concrete for up to 24 hours and the concrete will set as normal to full strength otherwise.

  ]]> HYDROCHLORIC ACID 32% (HCL) is an industrial strength acid commonly used for the removal of scale, lime, calcium, oxides, efflorescence, bore stains, concrete dust and hard water deposits.

  NOTE: this is a higher grade hydrochloric acid than the “spent / recovered” type normally found at your local pool shop or hardware store.

  Use Recommendations

  This product is generally used at concentration from 1:5 to 1:10 parts water depending on application. The product can be used via immersion, swab or recirculation techniques. The time taken to descale most items is approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Such a wide time span is given because results vary depending primarily on scale type and build up, dilution ratio and temperature. Once a surface has been cleaned always flush with copious amounts of water to removal all acid residues.

  TIPS:

  • Before using the product ensure the surface has been pre-cleaned with appropriate cleaner to remove unwanted oil, grease and film.
  • If the surface is porous (ie bore stain on brick wall) then the surface should be well wetted to avoid acid being wicked into the surface and creating a white haze in the days following, as minerals are leached to the surface.
  • Once a surface has been cleaned the acid should be washed off as soon as possible with copious amounts of water.
  • Repeated acid washing may damage some surfaces.
  • This product may etch, lighten or alter the color of tile, grout, stone and metal surfaces.
  • Allow all new grout, concrete, cement or masonry to cure per manufacturers specification before using.

  ]]> NEUTRA BRICK – ACID NEUTRALISER is a concentrated and economical solution that is used to neutralize mineral or organic acid residues after acid washing bricks, mortar, paving or stone to help prevent the common problem of white acid staining leaching to surface of brickwork and the like. This product also helps to prevent effervescence, internal rebar rusting and various other powdery layer crystal growth on brickwork.

  Use Recommendations

  NEUTRA BRICK is a concentrate. Use 1 Litre of NEUTRA BRICK to 9 Liters of water to make Ready-to-Use Solution. Once diluted use a garden sprayer or broom to evenly and generously apply solution over the brick wall so it is well wetted and soaks into wall but running down the wall.

  Coverage rate is approximately 1L per m2 per coat. This coverage depends on the porosity of the bricks and mortar in the wall.

  With the coats of applied NEUTRA BRICK solution allow these to work for 5 minutes each before finally washing down with low pressure water. The treated wall, when dry should then be tested with litmus paper to determine its finally pH which should be in the region of 7.0 -9.5.
