High-Performance Specialty Thickener

MIGHTY VT-200LS-2

MIGHTY VT-200LS-2 is a user friendly one component high-performance specialty

thickener which was developed for providing high viscosity with kinds of injection, filler
and concrete in civil engineering and construction field.
MIGHTY VT-200LS-2 makes a higher-order structure by micelle association of two kinds of
surfactants. This micelle can provide unique function which can’t be shown by any
conventional thickener, and can be used in several use applications by its resistant
character of material segregation.

[Features]
MIGHTY VT-200LS-2 can satisfy all of resistant character of material segregation,
flowability and good hardening property which are normally difficult to be satisfied
together.
○High resistant character of material segregation
It provides high viscosity material in several conditions such as under still standing,
vibration high pressure, high W/C, water and so on.
○Good hardening property
It provides better hardening property brought about by smaller retardation compared to
conventional macromolecular thickener such as cellulose-type one.
○Good property of pump pneumatic transportation
Higher order structure of threadlike micelle can flow by small stress, so inorganic materials
with MIGHTY VT-200LS-2 is superior in property of pump pneumatic transportation in
spite of high viscosity.
○pH of mixing water
Wide range of pH is available, and besides marine water also can be used with it.
○Fresh state
Adjusting dosage of it make it possible for us to control the flowability of slurry such as
flowable type or plastic type like gum.
○Chloride ion
It can be used with the material which have possibilities of corrosion because it does not
include chloride ion.
 [Use Application]
MIGHTY VT-200LS-2 can be used in the use application shown below.
・A wide variety of filling or injection material for civil engineering and construction field
and so on
・Injection for maintenance, repair and reinforcement and so on

[Charcteristic]
○ Main Gradient ････････････・・・ Anionic surfactant and Cationic surfactant
○ Appearance ･･･････････････ colorless or pale yellow liquid
○ pH ･･･････・・・・・・・ 2.0～5.0 （1%water solution）
○ Specific Gravity ･･････････････・ 1.045～1.065 g/cm3

[Usage]
1. About dosage
・Proper dosage of MIGHTY VT-200LS-2 is 1~10% versus water. Dosage is up to use
application and target of performance, so please adjust it situation by situation.
・Volume of it should include one of mixing water in calculation of composition
2. Preparative method of slurry
1) Make the slurry without MIGHTY VT-200LS-2 by adding powder to water.
2) Add MIGHTY VT-200LS-2 to the slurry which is prepared in 1), and after that stir
until it become homogenous with hand-mixer, mortar mixer or concrete mixer.
3) 30-60 seconds later, we can get the slurry with viscous elasticity.

★If MIGHTY VT-200LS-2 is added to mixing water before mixing with powder, viscosity of
mixing water itself increase. Please be careful that in such a case, it sometimes takes time
to make homogeneous slurry.

[Usage of antifoam]
①Prepare 10% or 1% water solution of antifoam. It should be stirred well because of its
high viscosity.
②Water solution of antifoam is added to the mixing water. The standard dosage of its 10%
solution is 1% versus water, and the one of its 1% solution is 10% versus MIGHTY VT-100B.
The volume of antifoam solution should include the volume of mixing water.
<The example of calculation in case of 10% solution>
If volume of MIGHTY VT-100AC is 14.0kg, 14.0×1% = 0.14g of antifoam solution is
necessary.
③Please change the volume of it situation by situation to get the appropriate air content.

★Silicon-type antifoam is appropriate in adjusting air content.
