Duplast NP

Sulphonated Naphthalene Formaldehyde Normal Plasticizer Dubond's Duplast NP is a normal plasticizer, a ready-to-use, liquid admixture used for making more uniform and predictable quality concrete. Recommended from M 15 Grade of Concrete to M 25 grade of concrete.
Dubond,s Duplast NP( Normal Plasticizer) is based on processed a Sulphonated Naphthalene Polymer based formulation and is supplied as a brown liquid. Generally cement particles tend to clump together and Duplast NP works by improving the dispersion of agglomerates within in the concrete mix which ensures that cement is used more efficiently. Duplast N P is low cost water reducer which can be used to get one or combination of benefrts. It may be used with all types of OPC and high alumina cements.

Duplast NP has a minimum shelf life of 6 to 12 months. Depending on storage conditions, the shelf life may be greater than stated below 40°C . Please contact your local sales representative regarding suitability for use and dosage recommendations if the shelf life of Duplast NP admixture has been exceeded.

  • Better Compaction and Finishing by acting as Viscosity Modifier
  • Breaks the Salinity of Water by converting them into Salt Crystals
  • Chloride free
  • Easier Placing
  • Higher Cohesion
  • Increases Extra Bonding Strength
  • Increases Work ability
  • Lower water requirement for given Work ability
  • Lowers cement content for increase in specified Strength, Workability & Durability
  • Reduce risk of Honey Combing
  • Reduce risk of Segregation and Bleeding
  • Reduce risk of Shrinkage Cracks due to Heat of Hydration
  • Reduces the risk of Rusting of reinforcement by breaking the chain of Rust Electrons
  • Light Weight concrete
  • Pervious Concrete
  • Precast concrete
  • Pumped concrete
  • Ready-mixed concrete
  • Rheodynamic
  • Self Consolidating Concrete (SCq
  • Shotcrete ( Guiniting )

Duplast NP is a ready-to-use liquid which is dispensed into the concrete together with the mixing water. The plasticising effect and water reduction are higher if the admixture is added to the damp concrete after 50% to 70% of the mixing water has been added.
