RHEOBUILD® 2000PF 26/04/06

Superplaster for high performance concrete and as a dispersing agent

for RHEOCEM® microcements for ground injection

Product description
RHEOBUILD® 2000PF is an admixture containing RHEOCEM® microcement injection
multifunctional, water soluble sulphonated
polymers of various chemical composition, thus + Water (w/c 1.0) + 1.5 to 3% Rheobuild 2000PF

specifically affecting the different mineralogical

components of cement.
MIXER PUMP
When RHEOBUILD® 2000PF is added to concrete
the molecules of the polymer, having a negative
charge, absorb onto the surface of the cement Packer

grains. This causes an electrostatic repulsion to

occur amongst the cement grains making their
dispersion in water easier and consequently the
mix more flowable. The action of RHEOBUILD® AGITATOR TANK
2000PF occurs even when Portland cement Use mix within 40 minutes!
clinker is mixed with other materials (e.g.
pozzolans, fly ash, slags & microsilica) in the
production of blended cements.

Packaging
Cement Injection
RHEOBUILD® 2000PF is available in 208 litre
RHEOBUILD® 2000PF has been found to be drums and 1000 litre bulk containers. The product
particularly beneficial in dispersing the should be stored above 5°C. If it becomes frozen,
RHEOCEM® microcements to allow enhanced thaw and agitate until completely reconstituted.
penetration properties. In these applications
RHEOBUILD® 2000PF should be dosed at 1.5 –
3% on cement weight (with 2% being typical), with
a water/cement ratio of 1. This will provide a
stable mixture able to penetrate the finest
groundmass cracks.
Application procedure
Dosage
® standards. Other admixtures should be dispensed
RHEOBUILD 2000PF is generally dosed at 1.5 –
2.0 litres per 100 kg of cement. Other dosages
may be recommended in special cases according
to specific job requirements. Consult your local
UGC representative for advice.
Mixing
The best results are obtained when all the dry
components are mixed with 25 – 30% of the water
into a stiff homogeneous mixture, followed by the
RHEOBUILD® 2000PF and mixing for 30 – 60
seconds, followed by the rest of the water.
with all admixtures complying with ASTM and UNI
separately into the concrete and not combined
with RHEOBUILD® 2000PF before addition.
Do not use RHEOBUILD® 2000PF with the
MEYCO® Total Consistency Control system
without consulting your local UGC representative.
Saftey precautions
RHEOBUILD® 2000PF contains no hazardous
substances that require labelling. For further
information refer to the Material Safety Data
Sheet.

Compatibility
RHEOBUILD® 2000PF is compatible with all types
of Portland, Pozzolanic and Slag cements. As a
general rule, RHEOBUILD® 2000PF is compatible
