Trinic Plasticiser

Trinic Plasticiser is a proprietary powdered blend of plasticisers, dispersants, and wetting agents designed to optimise the production of ultra-high-performance wet-cast and GFRC concrete. By accelerating blending, improving colour dispersion, and boosting compressive and flexural strength, this versatile additive is ideal for professional concrete applications seeking more efficient workflows and enhanced final results. Whether used in a custom mix design or integrated into existing bag mixes, Trinic Plasticiser transforms standard concrete into a high-performance solution, delivering superior flow, colour intensity, and stability.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Enhanced Workability & Mixing
   • Faster Blending & Wet-Out: Reduces mixing time by helping cementitious and colour components disperse more efficiently.
   • Improved Flow: Ideal for self-consolidating (SCC) wet-cast or SCC GFRC, enabling smoother pours and less manual effort.
2. Increased Strength & Durability
   • Boosts Compressive & Flexural Strength: Delivers tougher, more resilient concrete elements.
   • Greater Acid & Stain Resistance: Helps concrete withstand harsh conditions and maintain a longer service life.
3. Convenient & Shelf-Stable
   • No Spoilage: Powdered form eliminates the risk of mould or spoilage, even during winter shipping.
   • Cost-Effective Transport: No need for overnight shipping of liquids; store easily without worrying about freezing or contamination.
4. Superior Colour Performance
   • Improved Dispersion & Intensity: Enhances colour “pop” by enabling uniform pigment distribution.
   • Stable Hues: Maintains consistent colour quality, reducing blotches or streaks in the final product.
5. Broad Compatibility
   • Adapts to Multiple Mix Designs: Elevates from-scratch concrete formulations or commercial bag mixes into high-performance concretes.
   • Compatible with Trinic Admixtures: Can be used alongside Trinic’s System 1 WetCast or GFRC Admix within specified dosage limits.

Dosage Recommendations

• Standard Use: Start at 0.5% of the total cementitious weight.
• SCC Wet-Cast or GFRC: Increase dosage up to 1.0% of the total cementitious weight for self-consolidating consistency.
• Maximum Dosage: Do not exceed 1.0% when using in conjunction with Trinic System 1 WetCast or GFRC Admix.
• ASTM Compliance: Meets the requirements of ASTM C-494 A and F High Range Water Reducers.

Temperature / Cure Rate

1. Retarding Effect
   • Above 0.75% Dosage: May slightly delay set times; consider additional measures to maintain curing schedules.
   • Blanket Protection: Cover concrete to retain warmth if next-day de-moulding is required in cooler conditions.
2. Acceleration Options
   • Trinic Stage II Accelerator: Counteracts any retarding effect, helping sustain usual or faster demould times.
   • Suitable Admixture Pairing: Follow recommended guidelines to maintain optimal workability and curing timelines.
