Hydration Stabilizing Admixture
EUCO-FILL 25 is a dual-purpose liquid chemical admixture specially formulated to retard mine backfill materials for extended periods. It virtually stops the hydration of cement during hot weather or extended pumping operations. Additionally, this admixture serves as a water-reducing, set-retarding agent to minimize slump loss. By eliminating the need to discharge waste wash-out water into settling pits, it helps address potential environmental concerns. The product prevents the normal hydration of Portland cement and alternative backfill materials for up to 96 hours, depending on the dosage rate used. EUCO-FILL 25 is designed to reduce the amount of water needed during the wash-out process of a ready mix truck’s drum. The material stabilizes or retards the remaining cement to allow for future use of the wash-out water. It further supports environmental protection by reducing water usage and removing the need for wash-out pits. This formulation does not contain added chloride ions and is non-corrosive.
Features & Benefits
- Eliminates the need to use 200 to 300 gal (757 to 1136 liter) of water to wash-out versus 50 gal (189 lL)
- Environmental hazards are reduced because wash-out water is used as batch water for the next load of concrete rather than discharging into settling ponds
- Wash-out time is decreased due to the rapid cleansing action of the proprietary ingredients
- Saves wash-out water
- Protects the environment
- Eliminates wash-out pits
- Reduces clean-up time
- Superior set retardation
- Reduces water requirements
Applications
- Stabilize wash out water
- Concrete and backfill requiring water reducing and set retardation
- Backfill requiring extended slump life
Packaging
Euco-Fill 25 is packaged in bulk, 275 gal (1041 L) totes, 55 gal (208 L) and 5 gal (18.9 L) pails.
