RATE/USE: 15 oz per 94 lb sack, 16 oz. per 100 lb, 1.6 oz per 10 lb, .16
oz per lb of portland cement used. For example when mixing TWO 94 lb bags of portland
cement or cement/sand pre-mix in the mixing drum use 30 ounces of MOXIE 1800 SUPER-ADMIX.
Reduce the amount of water used by this same amount. Water may be further reduced by
approximately 10% to 15%. When using a 100 lb bag of portland cement use 16 oz of MOXIE
1800 SUPER-ADMIX per bag.
PROCEDURE:
1) Start with a clean mixing drum, clean as usual thereafter.
2) Add the proper dosage of MOXIE 1800 SUPER-ADMIX and A MINIMUM OF 20% OF THE MIX
WATER, to the mixing drum.
3) Rotate the mixing drum for approximately 30 revolutions or 2-3 minutes, only
to insure thorough mixing (ASTM C94).
4) Add the dry cement, sand and aggregate, if any, and the remaining amount of water. Deduct the quantity of MOXIE 1800 SUPER-ADMIX used from the total quantity
of water to be used.
5) Rotate the mixing drum for approximately 15 minutes,
70-100 revolutions, at no less than 4 rpm, before casting,
as called for in standard ready mixed practices. THIS TIME IS NOT
IN ADDITION TO THE STANDARD MIXING TIME.
6) Wash mixing drum out as usual.
It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that these directions are
followed in EXACT SEQUENCE in order to obtain the
maximum benefits and results. MOXIE 1800 SUPER-ADMIX is clear, odorless, non-toxic, and is
not detrimental to the equipment, including the mixing drum. Clean-up of tools and
equipment is easier. It is not recommended to use any latex,
densifying, accelerating, air-entraining, finishing, plasticizers, pumping-quality,
dustproofing compounds, efflorescence inhibitors, or water reducing admixtures.
If
any other admixture is specified or desired, mix separately and start with HALF THE
NORMAL DOSAGE of the other admixture manufacturer’s recommended dosage, adjust
accordingly. If ambient temperature exceeds 85oF or 80% relative humidity, a retarder
may be used to retard the set.
ON SITE CONDITIONS
1) CURING: MOXIE 1800 SUPER-ADMIX IS AN
INTEGRAL CURING COMPOUND which restricts the loss of water to that of a
membrane forming curing compound. Do not use any curing
compounds, DO NOT CURE BY FLOODING WITH WATER. Flooding with water will cause shrinkage
cracking. Fog mist only with water, if necessary, if temperature exceeds 85oF. Do not cover with visqueen.
2) TEMPERATURE: If ambient temperature drops below 50oF mix concrete an
additional 4 - 5 min. at mix speed, on-site, prior to use. MOXIE Fastset50 Accelerator,
a non-chloride, set accelerator may be used to reduce set time up to 50 percent at maximum
dosage. Consult the Fastset50 Accelerator cut sheet or MOXIE International
for proper dosage.
3) SLUMP: Maximum benefits have been achieved maintaining a 3" to 3½"
slump, 2" to 2½", with flyash.
4) WORKABILITY: Mix will appear to be dry, however it will have the workability
and finishing characteristics of concrete which is more fluid.
5) LOSS: Due to the cohesive nature of MOXIE 1800 SUPER-ADMIX, there should be
no loss from troweling. Any loss from troweling indicates excessive water. Reduce the
amount of water.
6) CLEAN-UP: Tools and equipment clean-up is much easier.
7) SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: If there are any additional or special requirements
please contact Technical Services.
