Vitaseal Expanding Foam Tapes


Vitaseal expanding foam tapes are manufactured using an open cell polyurethane foam heavily
impregnated with acrylics. When the impregnated foam is compressed, the cells close and at only
20% compression provide a complete primary weather seal.
The importance of a breathable and weatherproof seal is essential in view of the new proposals
in Part L of the Building Regulations - Conservation of Fuel & Power in dwellings. Vitaseal foam
tapes offer a highly effective seal whilst allowing the structure to breathe at the same time.
The unique cell structure and impregnation of the foam allows moisture to evaporate externally
and prevents warm air escaping in this way not affecting the insulation properties required under
Part L.
Vitaseal is available as 300kPa (Vitaseal 300) and 600kPa (Vitaseal 600), both tapes provide
excellent sealing properties against weather. The 600kPa product is recommended for use in
more extreme weather applications and is resistant to UV. The 300kPa product is more suitable
for partial weather exposure.
Vitaseal expanding foam tapes are used extensively in roofing, glazing and general building and
construction applications as a primary weather seal. The expanding foam tapes are used to seal
uneven gaps between a variety of structures and surfaces.

Characteristics / Applications include;


Responds continually to expansion and
contraction cycles without failure
Remains flexible for the duration of its life
Forms a complete primary weather seal
Joints for portable or sectional buildings
Construction
Side/end laps on roofing sheets

Expansion joints
Perimeter seals for windows and doors
Gutter seals
Abutment seals for conservatories
Perimeter seals for curtain walling

Admixtures
Adoflow-S Standard Set Plasticiser
The addition of Adoflow-S to an existing concrete mix facilitates up to 25% reduction in added
water content for a given slump with the resultant marked reduction in water/cement ratio
providing increased strengths.
Alternatively it will increase slump by up to 150% without any increase in water content.
Adoflow-S is therefore used to:
Increased strengths without loss of workability, or
Improve workabilility without an increase in water/cement ratio, or
Maintain specified strength with reduced cement content.
The inclusion of Adoflow-S In a well designed concrete mix will also provide:
Easier and speedier placing and compaction.
Minimal segregation and bleeding.
Superior finish.
Reduced shrinkage and minimal cracking.
Increased density and impermeability.
Available in 5, 25 and 210 litre sizes.

Adoflow-A Accelerated Set Plasticiser


The inclusion of Adoflow-A in a concrete mix will accelerate the setting and hardening of
concrete so that early strength gain is in excess of that obtained even with Rapid Hardening
Portland Cement with the increase maintained beyond the 28 day age. This in addition to its
plasticizing action.
Due to these characteristics the inclusion of Adoflow-A in a concrete mix, as well as providing all
the benefits obtained from the use of Adoflow-S Standard Set Plasticiser, will also facilitate:
Development of higher early strengths.
Safer winter concreting without delays.
Earlier stripping and greater re-use of moulds.
Earlier safe handling of Precast Units.
Available in 5, 25 and 210 litre sizes.

Chemicals,
Sealants & Fillers

Adoflow-ACF Accelerated Chlorine Free Plasticiser


Adoflow-ACF is a chloride free accelerating admixture with plasticising properties. It Is therefore
ideal for use when it is desired to accelerate the set and rate of strength gain in concrete in
instances where specification or code of practice, such as that for prestressed concrete does not
permit the use of calcium chloride.
The inclusion of Adoflow-ACF in a concrete mix will:
Accelerate initial and final set.
Increase rate of strength gain.
Enable earlier safe handling of precast units.
Enable reduction in water content.
Provide higher early strengths.
Permit earlier release of formwork.
Provide safer winter concreting with delays.
Improve workability.
Available in 5, 25 and 210 litre sizes.

145

Adoflow-R Retarded Set Plasticiser


The Inclusion of Adoflow-R in a concrete mix will provide similar characteristics and benefits to
those provided by Adoflow-A. In addition, it will also reduce the rate of hydration of the cement,
to retard initial and final set, as well as reduce the peak temperature resulting from the hydration
process, thereby minimizing the risk of cracking. Due to these characteristics the inclusion of
Adoflow-R in a concrete mix, as well as providing all the benefits from the use of Adoflow-S
Standard Set Plasticiser will also facilitate:
Longer time available between mixing and placing.
Avoidance of cold joints between pours.
Pours of greater volume with reduced risk of cracking.
Available in 5, 25 and 210 litre sizes.

Adoflow-Extra Super Plasticiser


Adoflow Extra is a liquid plasticiser and water reducing agent which imparts extremely high
workability when added to a concrete mix or cementitious grout. Being a highly effective
deflocculating agent it disperses cement paste into its primary particles increasing flow
characteristics.
Benefits associated with the use of Adoflow Extra include:
Enables concrete to achieve high compaction with minimal or no vibration or tamping.
Increases flow characteristics of concrete to assist with difficult pours.
Permits significant reduction in water content of normal workability concrete with consequent
reduction in water/cement ratio to produce higher and early ultimate strengths.
Available in 5, 25 and 210 litre sizes.

Concrete Remover
Chemicals,
Sealants & Fillers

Cure Chemicals Concrete Remover is designed exclusively to clean concrete construction


equipment and does not contain any Muriatic, Phosphoric or Citric acids and is therefore noncorrosive. It is safe to use on painted surfaces, aluminium, glass and rubber. It is safe for both
human handling and for the environment. Cure Chemicals Concrete Remover is biologically
degradable and can be discarded in the normal sewage system (EAK 17 09 04).
How it works:
Cure Chemicals Concrete Remover contains active substances that break down the molecules
that bind the cement together with sand and water.
Cure Chemicals Concrete Remover is mixed with water to the desired strength and applied as a
foam to the item concerned, using for example, a handheld foamer. The foam should be left to
act on the concrete for 20-45 minutes. Then clean off the item thoroughly with a high-pressure
cleaner or with water and a stiff brush. In cases where there is heavy buildup, the treatment can
be repeated. Since the product is not harmful to the environment, it can be drained directly into
the public sewer system (EWC 17 09 04).
Collectively these extra benefits make for optimum utilisation of time and equipment. It is financially
sound, saving you money as well as preserving your equipment and extending its life. You can use
Cure Chemicals Concrete Remover on hand tools, mixers, scaffolding and aluminium sections.
Available in 5 and 20 litre sizes. Plus Hand Foamer.
