Lilax S.N.F.-100 is used as plasticizing admixture for concrete mixes with water reducing properties. It contains selected synthetic condensates based on formaldehyde. It imparts extra high workability to cement/aggregate mixes without adding extra quantities of water. Further, it also helps in better retention of slump and keeps a lower water cement ratio. Lilax S.N.F.-100 is normally available in pack of 0.25 ltr, 0.5 ltr, 5ltr, 20 ltr, 200ltr drums or poly jars.
 
Application of Lilax S.N.F.-100
 
Lilax S.N.F.-100 s is vastly used to cast girders, dams, columns bridges, water retaining structures, concrete blocks, concrete pipes, pre fabricated elements, pavements, sleepers, underground tunnels and basements.
 
Applicable standards followed by us includes IS - 9103/79, BS 5075 PART 1:1982, ASTM 494-86 TYPE D and TYPE F.
 
Advantages of LILAX S.N.F.-100 comprise of following:

• Provides high fluidity for cementitious mixes thus increase workability
• Helps in reducing cement for a required strength and achieves early high strength
• Also allow great reductions (upto 30 %) of the water cement for normal workability mixes.
• Helps in rapid placing of concrete even around heavily congested reinforced members
• Achieves self compaction, hence little or no vibration will be required
• Improves density and impermeability in concrete mix
• Better retention of slump and dose not show any creep or shrinkage
• Minimum dosage cause maximum economy
• Achieves green stability in pipe production and reduces setting time for prefabricated elements
• Smooth surface finish. Non toxic and dose not contain chloride or other corrosive and harmful chemicals

 
Technical features of Lilax S.N.F.-100 include:
 
Lilax S.N.F.-100 is a super plasticizing admixture for concrete, mortars and grouts. The lilax also breaks down the cement agglomerates and evenly disperses the particles throughout the mix ensuring efficient use of cement and maintaining the required flow ability.
 
Various features of our range include following:
 
Properties: Brown liquid contains condensates of sulphonated sodium naphthalene formaldehyde. It dose not contain any chlorides or aggressive chemicals and is non toxic.
 
Dosage: Essential for carrying out a preliminary site tests, the range is added to the mix together with the water. Sufficient mixing time is provided ensuring even distribution of the admixture throughout the entire batch. Dosage is 100 gm to 500 gm per 50kg bag of cement depending upon the degree of workability desired to select optimum dose.
 
Technical data:

• Form: Liquid
• Colour: Brownish
• Sp.gravity: 1.17 1.20
• Chloride content: Nil
• pH value: 7 to 8

LILAX-TA is a rapid set, polymer modified, flexible cementitious-based floor and wall tile adhesive. Specially formulated for its enhanced adhesion and flexibility, which makes it deal for areas where slight movement or vibration can occur.

Uses

The adhesive's unique qualities make it ideal for fixing natural stone, ceramic, porcelain, mosaic and glass tiles to most common building substrates including concretes and render, screeds, brick and block work, existing tiled surfaces. LILAX-TA is perfect for interior, exterior, wet and dry conditions. It will take light foot traffic within 2 to 3 hours dependant upon temperature and substrate.

Tile Adhesive Features

• May be used for localized repairs to concrete and screed surfaces.
  
• No admixture required, simply mix with water.
  
• Tiles can be grouted in 3 hours

Tile Adhesive Mixing LILAX - TA should be added slowly to clean water and mixed thoroughly to give a slump free easily worked mortar. The mix proportions by volume are approximately 2 parts LILAX-TA: 1 part water. Application Apply the adhesive with a suitably sized notched trowel leaving solid ribs, when tiling floors, external situations and wet areas such as showers or swimming pools, solid bed fixing must be achieved. To achieve this the tiles should be "buttered" immediately prior to placing into a ribbed bed, removing any voids. Bed the tiles in firmly with a slight twisting action and make adjustments within 15 minutes of fixing. Cleaning off excess adhesive from the tile face & grout lines with a damp cloth before it sets. Tools should be thoroughly cleaned in water to remove excess materials immediately after use. As with all single part cementitious adhesives, LILAX-TA is designed to withstand only slight movement and vibration of the substrate.

LILAX Waterproofing Admixture improves the waterproofing properties of Portland cement mortars, renders, and stucco work and concrete. LILAX is a unique chemical treatment for the waterproofing and protection of concrete. Among its many uses, LILAX is suitable for waterproofing reservoirs, sewage and water treatment tanks, tunnels, manholes, underground vaults, foundation walls and parking decks.

ADVANTAGES

• Contains no calcium chloride
  
• Lower water/cement ratio - results in higher concrete strength
  
• Not a dry powder - easier and safer to mix homogenous - no fear of clumping
  
• Resists extreme hydrostatic pressure, positive (active) or negative (passive) water pressure side
  
• Can seal hairline cracks
  
• Highly resistant to aggressive chemicals
  
• Not hydrophobic - no adhesion problems
  
• Reduces efflorescence # Non toxic
  
• Less costly than most other methods.
  

DOSAGE

0.2% BY WT OF CEMENT (100 GM PER 50 KG BAG OF CEMENT)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

• Mix the necessary cement, sand and/or aggregates DRY in usual quantities.
  
• Add LILAX Waterproofing Admixture to the usual mixing water and stir thoroughly.
  
• Add the solution to the dry materials and continue mixing in the normal manner.
  

PACKAGING

LILAX Waterproofing Admixture is packed in: 100g, 500g, 1kg, 5 kg, 20 kg and 200kg HDPE container

CAUTION

• Do not add more than 30 ltr. for concrete and 40

Description LILAX – M.C. is a liquid admixture for concrete to achieve high resistance to water ingress. It is based on a blend of surface active agents and refined lignosulphonate.
 
Uses LILAX – M.C. should be used in all structural concrete that is constantly or intermittently in contact with water such as sea walls, tunnels, basements, structural and pre-cast concrete in exposed superstructures. LILAX – M.C. can also be used as waterproofing cum plasticising admixture for cement mortars and plasters.

Advantages

• Provides resistance to water penetration either under hydrostatic pressure or capillary absorption.
  
• Increased durability.
  
• Reduced efflorescence.
  
• Improved cohesion, reduce segregation.
  
• Pumpabiity of concrete is greatly improved.
  
• Improved surface finish.
  
• Reduced shrinkage cracks in plasters
  
• Do not reduce compressive strengths
  
• Liquid – easy to use.
  
• Low dosage – Economical.
  

Standards

• IS:2645-2003
  
• IS:9103-1999
  
• ASTM C494: Types A & D
  

Direction for use LILAX – M.C. 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. The addition of LILAX – M.C. to dry aggregate or cement is not recommended.

Dosage As a guide, a dosage range of 100 ml to 250 ml per 100kg of cementitious material is recommended. Optimum dosage of LILAX – M.C. should be determined with trial mixes

Points to remember when producing waterproof concrete:

• Ensure water / cement ratio is within the range of 0.40 to 0.60.
  
• Keep water content as low as possible.
  
• Place concrete quickly and compact it well.
  
• Ensure complete curing.
  

PACKAGING LILAX- M.C. is packed in: 500g, 1kg, 5 kg, 10 kg and 20 kg container.
