Aditivo Modificador de Viscosidade para concreto MVA Novakem

MVA is a viscosity modifier additive for use in fluid concrete . Developed for high performance and reduction of segregation or improvement of concrete pumpability. Used in conjunction with SP II type superplasticizing additives.

Aditivo modificador de viscosidade para concreto

MVA Novakem is a viscosity-modifying additive that thickens the free water in the mixture, reducing segregation and bleeding, and improving rheology, especially in fluid and self-compacting concretes.

It is a high-performance liquid concrete admixture that significantly improves the rheological and viscoelastic properties of fresh concrete . Due to its action, it allows for the production of pumped concrete with reduced segregation, even in mixtures with a deficiency of fine particles. Ideally, it should be combined with a water reducer, and can be combined with admixtures from the Hyperkem™ and Polykem lines.

MVA Novakem is recommended as a viscosity-modifying additive in the following applications:

  • All types of pumped concrete;

  • Concrete with varying fines content;

  • Low-consumption concrete or concrete with discontinuously graded aggregates, with low water retention and segregation;

  • Controlling exudation in self-compacting concrete;

  • Submerged concrete ;

  • Applications in structures requiring high launching capacity and in locations with difficult-to-access launching areas;

  • For pumping concrete over long distances and to great heights ;

  • Foundations and continuous flight auger piles.

What are the advantages of using Novakem MVA viscosity modifier additive for concrete?

MVA Novakem is suitable for applications in the production of fluid concrete, self-compacting concrete, and underwater concrete . Among its main advantages are:

  • It increases the cohesion and homogeneity of the concrete;

  • Reducing labor costs and rework;

  • Better finish on the parts and easier subsequent painting steps, when applicable;

  • Product compatible with the Hyperkem™ superplasticizer line ;

  • High performance with low application cost ;

  • Ease of incorporation into ready-mixed concrete due to the product's stability and ease of incorporation.
