- Product Benefits
- Reduce the water - cement ratio.
- Concrete placement faster and easier.
- With water reduction, high compressive strengths are obtained at early ages.
- It allows to reduce the cement content, maintaining the resistance to compression.
- Allow less time to unmold prestressed concrete.
- Minimizes the energy needed for steam curing.
- Improves the finish in precast concrete.
- Product Highlights
- A well-designed mixture, precast concrete products can reduce cement consumption simultaneously that obtain high strength at an early age, and thus can reduce the demolding cycle and reduce fuel consumption.
- Precast concrete producers can design mixtures with FR6031 and obtain high resistance at an early age and high final resistance for rapid release.
- The plasticity imparted by FR 6031 to a concrete mixture produces a fluidity in filling. When the molds are removed, the concrete results in a more uniform surface.
- In previous applications, FR 6031 improves the fluidity of concrete. It also remains cohesion and retains its water - cement relationship without bleeding, without segregation and without loss of resistance. Concrete with FR 6031 minimizes the work required for placement in areas where space is reduced.
- FR 6031 reduces cement costs by reducing the amount of cement needed to obtain a specific force.
- But instead of opting for this increase in compressive strength, the cement content can be reduced by 15%. This restores the water - cement ratio and maintains the original compressive strength. And saving that 15% of cement that I would have had to use if I had not added FR 6031.
- Tests have shown that it is possible to reduce steam cure time by 50% in a prestressed concrete and still obtain the desired compressive strength before demolding.
- FR 6031 can dramatically increase the fluidity of concrete for better and easier placement without loss of strength or durability. This shorter placement time reduces the man-hours needed to do this job.

- Product Applications
- Dispersion Of Pigments: FR 6031 is an efficient viscosity reducer for pigment pastes. Normally 0.20% of FR 6031 in relation to the dry pigment weight is sufficient, although for some types of pigments it may take up to 2% to obtain the desired fluidity. In addition to this, you get more hiding power and better brightness of the tones.
- Employee In Emulsion Polymerizations: During the production of stirene - butadiene rubber, 0.15% of FR 6031 based on the monomers allowing a better finish since the viscosity of the emulsion and the formation of clots is reduced.
- In Ceramics: FR6031 is very useful in the manufacture of ceramic bathroom parts. With this dispersant, ceramic production will show less shrinkage, less finishing defects, kinks and cracks during baking and drying.
- Employment FRE031 On Plaster Panels: The use of FR 6031 allows to work with lower viscosity and less water, giving the possibility of drying the panels with a lower temperature or drying in less time, which represents an important economic advantage.
- In Concrets: Superplastificant And Water Reducer:
- FR 6031 is a super plasticizer that gives formulated concrete the following advantages:Good plasticity
- Ease of handling by pumping
- It has no effect on setting
- Does not promote corrosion
- Reduce the amount of water by up to 35%
- Usage Information
- Normal dosage levels are 0.30 to 0.5 kg of FR 6031 per 100 kg of cement. It is recommended that the addition of FR 6031 be made in 40% solids solution.
- FR 6031 is a water reducing additive in concrete. This water reducer allows to reduce extraordinarily the amount of water normally required to impart workability to a concrete mixture

Technical Details & Test Data
- Feno Resinas 6031 Operation
- FR 6031 is a dispersing agent that promotes the separation or defloculation of cement particles, overcoming the cohesive forces that attract them to each other.
- This powerful action of FR 6031 on cement causes the concrete mixture to flow more easily than a conventional mixture. This effect is called plasticization.
- As a superplasticizer, FR 6031 gives the concrete mix optimal plasticization and allows it to be placed more easily. In addition, the use of FR 6031 allows to reduce the water - cement ratio without loss in the tempering. These results directly in an increase in the initial and final resistance to concrete compression.
- FR 6031 is a non-toxic agent, which does not cause foam and since it is a synthetic product, it has uniform properties from one batch to another, unlike lignosulfonates.
- Its thermal stability is guaranteed up to 150ºC. Its decomposition temperature is 380 °C. In normal dosages, FR-6031 does not affect the heat of hydration of the concrete. It does not contribute to the corrosion of steel, nor to the growth of microorganisms.
