Consumption
Mix thoroughly before use. For concrete: 0.6-1.3 l per 100 kg of concrete. Concreting comes down to the use of a cast mixture, which easily fills a mold or formwork and forms a flat, smooth surface that does not require finishing. For mortar: 0.3-0.6 l per 100 kg of cement. The use of a plasticizer for plastering inclined and vertical surfaces is possible if it is added no more than specified above. If the concentration of Superplasticizer S-3 is greater than specified, the solution may slip.
Technical specifications
Superplasticizer S-3 is produced in the form:
- 1) coffee-colored liquids with a viscous consistency in canisters of 20, 10, 5 l or in containers from 0.5 to 10 l;

- increase in adhesion with reinforcement by 1.6 times, and water resistance up to W12.
Storage and transportation conditions
Store in a tightly closed container at a temperature from -5°C to +30°C, protecting from moisture, heat and direct sunlight. Transport at temperatures from -40°C to +30°C, by all means of transport, in covered vehicles; after defrosting and mixing, the properties are preserved. Defrost at room temperature. Shelf life and storage: 24 months from the date of manufacture, subject to compliance with transportation and storage requirements. Ingredients: water, plasticizer S-3, antiseptic.
Guidelines for using the supplement
Every year, the construction industry uses 36 thousand tons of this substance, which is combined with retarders or accelerators, water repellents, which makes it a universal tool in the production of concrete mixtures.
You must carefully follow the instructions for use of the C-3 plasticizer.
Method of using dry plasticizer
This additive is added to the cement-sand composition in a liquid state.
How to dilute plasticizer C-3 - the powder is indicated in the product data sheet. To prepare concrete with this additive:
- Gradually mix water with powder in a clean container to a concentration of 15–35%, taking into account ease of use, operating conditions, and technology requirements. To speed up the process, the recommended liquid temperature is +30 - +90 °C. The consumption of S-3 plasticizer for preparing 1 kg of such a solution is 366 g, and water - 634 g.
- Leave the resulting compound for 24 hours, then add it to the container along with the main liquid and other ingredients when the concrete composition is mixed.
Method of using watery superplasticizer
Depending on the amount of additive in concrete, its setting time depends. Before adding the plasticizer, it should be mixed in a clean container until smooth. According to the instructions for the plasticizer for concrete S-3, it is dosed at the rate of:
- About 5-1 liters per 100 kg of Portland cement for the construction of floors, ceilings, and walls;
- 1-2 liters per 100 kg of cement mixture for the manufacture of monolithic structures and foundations.
The liquid additive is poured along with water while the concrete mixer rotates. Then other fillers are added and the solution is prepared until it is ready.
In private housing construction, the question often arises: how much C-3 plasticizer is needed for a bucket of cement. The answer is simple: 0.05-0.1 l.
When preparing concrete with the addition of a superplasticizer, you should follow the instructions for its use. Only in this case, ready-mixed concrete and building structures will receive the corresponding positive characteristics and advantages over other products.
Precautionary measures
When working with the additive, use personal protective equipment: glasses, gloves. In case of contact with skin, rinse with plenty of water. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and consult a doctor. Keep away from food.
Cleaning containers and tools: after completion of work, the equipment must be freed from residual material and thoroughly washed with water or soapy water.
Waste disposal: Empty containers are tightly closed with lids and taken to household waste collection points.
Plasticizer S-3 dry, 20 kg
Plasticizer S-3, in accordance with GOST 24211-08, belongs to the class of superplasticizing (OK up to P5) and superwater-reducing additives for concrete and mortars. Additive Fort Plasticizer S-3 consists of a mixture of modified high-molecular sodium polynaphthalene methylsulfonates. This additive is used in the production of a wide range of reinforced concrete products, ready-mixed concrete, lightweight concrete, construction of monolithic structures, as well as in the production of small-piece concrete products.

Using Form Plasticizer S-3 will allow:
- obtain cast self-compacting concrete mixtures that require virtually no vibration during installation;
- reduce the water-cement ratio of the mixture by 20% or more (water-reducing effect), thereby obtaining a significant increase in strength, water resistance, frost resistance, density, etc.;
- reduce cement consumption by up to 22% (in equal mobility mixtures);
- simultaneously obtain concrete mixtures with increased mobility (P3-P4) compared to a composition without additives and increase the strength of concrete by reducing the water-cement ratio;
- reduce time and energy costs for HTW of concrete products;
- produce ready-mixed concrete while maintaining mobility without delamination and water separation, followed by pumping and placement into formwork.
Application
Fort Plasticizer S-3 is used for:
- production of all types of concrete class B15 and higher, incl. with prestressed reinforcement;
- production of concrete mixtures for architectural forms and paving elements;
- monolithic housing construction;
- production of densely reinforced, thin-walled reinforced concrete structures.
Fort Plasticizer S-3 does not contain substances that cause corrosion of reinforcement and does not contribute to the formation of efflorescence.
It is recommended to add the additive Fort Plasticizer S-3 to the concrete mixture in the form of an aqueous working solution (the dry additive is pre-dissolved with water) together with mixing water. After addition to the concrete mixture, it is recommended to provide sufficient mixing time to ensure uniform distribution of the admixture in the mixture. The mixing time is also selected by the consumer based on the technology conditions. The effectiveness of a concrete additive directly depends on the chemical composition of the cement and the quality of the aggregates.
When changing the inert or binder of a concrete mixture, it is recommended to adjust the composition of the mixture in laboratory conditions.
Dosage: 0.5 - 0.8% dry matter by weight of cement.
Other dosages are possible. The optimal dosage is determined by checking the effectiveness of its administration in accordance with GOST 30459-08.
Packaging, storage, transportation
Polypropylene bags with a polyethylene liner of 20 or 25 kg, barrels, cube containers. Transported by any means of transport (non-dangerous cargo). Store in unopened original packaging in a dry place on pallets, protected from direct sunlight and freezing. Shelf life - 12 months from the date of manufacture (see date in the quality certificate).
Characteristics of superplasticizer S-3
Plasticizers for cement mortars are produced according to TU 5730-012-97474489-2010. Before you start using them, it is important to familiarize yourself with the technical features of the supplement. So, in appearance it is a homogeneous powder, which according to the norm should have a light brown color. The mass fraction of water in the substance should not exceed 10%. As for the activity of hydrogen ions, this indicator should be equal to 8.5 + 1.5, which is true for a 2.5% aqueous solution. Chlorine, or rather, its mass fraction should not exceed 0.1%, which is true for a substance that is in a dry state.
If you have started producing tiles, then you may need a plasticizer for tiles; it is added during the production of the top layer of products.
