Element Concrete PP35 Winter

Pumpable self-compacting concrete

Product description

Marlon Element Concrete PP35 Winter is a factory-made dry concrete that is ready for use after thorough mixing with water. The product is made of Portland cement, additives and oven-dried and sorted silica sand with a controlled grain curve. In its mixed form, Marlon Element Concrete PP35 Winter is a self-compacting plastic concrete that can be used for different casting projects at low temperatures. The product satisfies the material requirements for extra aggressive environments according to DS/EN 206 DK NA:200.

Benefits
  • Pumpable Expanding

  • Self-compacting

  • Layer thicknesses of up to 150 mm

  • Use in temperatures down to -5°C

  • Just add wate

Area of use

Marlon Element Concrete PP35 Winter is designed for casting projects in below-freezing temperatures. Marlon Element Concrete PP35 Winter is used for a large variety of casting and repair work, such as pump casting between floor slabs in element construction, in connection with grouting of corrugated pipe or in places where traditional concreting can be difficult to access. Marlon Element Concrete PP35 Winter requires only the addition of water and, when mixed, is a plastic, self-consolidating concrete.

Preparation

The surface must be cleaned of any ice and snow, cement sludge, oil, grease and other loose impurities through, e.g. chipping, sand blasting or high-pressure cleaning. Reinforcement iron must be cleaned of rust and chlorides. Metal surfaces must be cleaned of any grease, rust etc.

Mixing

Mix Marlon Element Concrete PP35 Winter with cold/lukewarm water in a suitable compulsory mixer. Mix well for at least 5 min., until the mixture has a lump-free plastic consistency. Manual mixing can be done in a tub/bucket using a drill with a two-bladed propeller agitator. When mixing with a drill, first pour the water into the bucket, and then add the powder while mixing. Alternatively, an automatic mortar pump can be used.

Concreting in general

Marlon Element Concrete PP35 Winter is used for various tasks and can generally be used in thicknesses from 10–150 mm. From experience, Marlon Element Concrete PP35 Winter can be used for concreting of up to 350 mm. Consideration must be given to contraction and expansion joints according to the same guidelines as for ordinary concrete pouring. Adding more water than described will reduce the strength and increase the likelihood of contraction cracks. For optimal use of the expansion, do not blend more mortar than can be used within approx. 30 min. at +5°C. Higher temperatures will shorten and lower temperatures will extend both the opening and hardening times.

Pouring of floor slabs

Pump the mixed concrete and fill directly into the hollowed joint in thicknesses corresponding to the element thickness and to approx. 150 mm wide.

Level off the surface and, optionally, brush to achieve a rough surface with improved adhesion.

Aftercare

Protect Marlon Element Concrete PP35 Winter from strong night frost, winds, etc.

Limitations

Marlon Element Concrete PP35 Winter should not be used at temperatures below -5℃ or over +10°C. Marlon Element Concrete PP35 Winter does not tolerate temperatures below -5°C in the initial curing period. Do not mix with additives.

Cleaning

Clean tools with water immediately after use. Hardened Element Concrete PP35 Winter can only be removed mechanically.
