Alccofine® 1203

MICRO FINE MINERAL ADDITIVE FOR CONCRETE AND MORTARS

DESCRIPTION • Maintains the PH of the concrete to protect

steel reinforcement
Alccofine 1203 is a proprietary patented product • Improves pump ability of concrete
(IP Patent No. 297735) with low calcium silicate • Enhanced slump and extended slump retention
based mineral additive. Controlled granulation without increasing the dosage of expensive
process results in unique particle size distribution. chemical admixtures
• Faster removal of shuttering, quick rotation of
Its latent hydraulic property and pozzolanic forms in precast industry
reactivity results in enhanced hydration process. • Enhanced rate of strength gain in concrete
mixes with high pozzolanic material contents
Addition of Alccofine 1203 improves the packing like fly ash, GGBS, etc.

PATENTED TECHNOLOGY
Fine balance of CaO2 SiO2 and Al2O 3 combined
with unique patented PSD (Particle Size
Distribution) design makes Alccofine a
favorable SCM combination for use in all grade
concrete. Particle size gradation is highly
controlled, 10 years records indicate consistancy
in quality.
APPLICABLE STANDARDS
IS 16715:2018, IRC SP:70, IS :456
TECHNICAL SERVICES
Alccofine technical support team, if required, shall
be contacted for more detailed instructions,
guidance on mix design with micro fine mineral
additives.
DISPENSING AND DOSAGE
Measured quantity of Alccofine 1203 shall be
added in the concrete mix along with cement and
other pozzolanic powder materials. Mixing time
shall be adequate to facilitate the uniform inter
dispersion of all powder materials in the concrete.
Dosage: 4% to 8% by weight of total binder
content as per the grade of concrete. For special
purpose concretes, dosage beyond the above stated
range can be used to achieve desired performance
parameters.
SAFE HANDLING INFORMATIONS
PPE: hand gloves, goggles and suitable
respiratory mask shall be used.
Precautions: Avoid prolonged contact with skin
and eyes. If swallowed seek medical attention
immediately.
Hazard: Regarded as non-hazardous for
transportation.
Disposal: Empty bags shall not be reused and
disposed off as per local rules and regulations.
Additional information: Refer MSDS of the
product.
PACKAGING
