Applications
There are some applications in concrete con-
struction where the slump of the concrete
needs to be low for proper placement. In slip
forming and curb making, concrete must be
very stiff to hold its shape before it sets. In
placement on hillsides or slopes, slump must
be low enough to keep the concrete from slid-
ing out of place. If concrete placed with laser
screeds is too wet, the screed is not able to
properly level it.
In order to lower the slump of concrete, the
viscosity-modifying admixture Super Slump
Buster can be used. Super Slump Buster thick-
ens the water in the concrete. The thickened
water is able to hold the cement and sand to-
gether, and this paste in turn holds the aggre-
gates in place, thus reducing the slump.
Super Slump Buster is used as an aid in place-
ment of concrete only. It WILL NOT change
the strength of the concrete. If a load has too
much water for the strength specifi ed, the use
of Super Slump Buster will NOT increase the
strength, although it may give the required
slump for the job specifi cations. This product
has been in commercial use since 1992.
Product Information
Super Slump Buster:
· Viscosity modifying admixture for aid in
concrete
placement.
· Decreases slump by up to 4 inches.
· Can be redosed if needed.
