Admix FXL

Admix FXL is a high range water reducer based on polycarboxylate technology. It is designed to create flowable, pumpable, self-consolidating concrete with low water-cement ratios, high early strength, and good slump retention. Admix FXL produces concrete that requires little vibration, has a superior surface finish, and meets ASTM C494 Type F standards. It provides benefits such as reduced water demand, improved workability, and faster construction.

Description
High range water reducer based on a blend of the latest generation of polycarboxylate technology
designed for high performance concrete - low water/cement ratio, high early strength, high slump,
flowable, pumpable, and self-consolidating concrete with good slump retention and no retardation.
Concrete manufactured with Admix FXL requires little vibration and produces concrete with minimal
imperfections and a superior surface finish. Meets ASTM C 494 Type F. Contains no added chlorides.

Applications
 High Perfomance concrete  Low water/cement ratios, high early
 Precast concrete strength concrete
 Prestressed concrete  Ready mix concrete
 Self consolidating concrete  Pervious concrete
 Pumpable concrete  Architectural concrete
 Gunite concrete

Benefits
 Reduced water to cement ratios, down to 0.30 or less reducing the demand for water in
concrete.
 Minimizes the need to vibrate concrete, speeding up pouring and placement reducing labor
costs.
 Drastically improves the plastic properties of the concrete mix that remains workable for up to 90
minutes when combined with a retarder.
 Less sensitive to cement compared to other polycarboxylate technology in the market.
 Produces flowable concrete with high early strength, speeding up the project’s construction
process or reducing turnaround time at a precast plant.
 Can be combined with Admix brand retarders. Contact your local Admix technical
representative for technical support.
 Produces concrete with a controlled set time.

Mixing Instructions
Add Admix FXL to the concrete mix once at least 70% of the mix design’s water has been added to
the batch. Mix for at least 3-5 minutes.

Water Reduction Dosage rate

Handling and Storage


Up to 12 months shelf life after manufacture date when stored in a cool, dry place, warehouse

Precautions and Recommendations


 Admix FXL is not compatible with all admixtures. Please consult your local Admix representative
for recommendations if you would like to combine Admix FXL with other admixtures.
 Admix FXL should not be added directly to dry cement.
 Please consult with Lazarus & Lazarus when field conditions require a higher dosage rate that
exceeds 12.0 oz/100 lbs of total cementitious (8.0 mL/kg) for prior performance testing using
project specific materials.
 Slump retention depends on: type/brand of cement, aggregate gradation, mixing procedure,
method of transport to job site, and ambient temperature.
