BERYLEX Specifications

(cont.)

ADDITION OF BERYLEX:

BERYLEX specified at 16 ounces or less per sack of cement may be added at the batch plant. BERYLEX specified at more than 16 ounces per sack of cement usually should be added at the job site.

Batch Plant - BERYLEX may be added directly to the gauging water or placed in solution and metered.

Job Site -  Ask for a low slump of about 2 to 3 inches. When batch truck arrives, measure out portion to above quantities to determine your mix design. Stir well, stop the hopper; pour your BERYLEX LIQUID mix in the hopper. Allow at least five minutes of fast mixing before discharging the concrete.

Notes -
1.  Cold storage situations may require more than 48 ounces of BERYLEX LIQUID per sack of cement, depending upon heat of hydration time. Up to 64 ounces of BERYLEX LIQUID per sack may be used if early strength prior to long temp freezing is required.

2.   If air-entraining is required we recommend a vinsol-resin. Depending on local waters, the amount of air-agent required far a given air readout may be reduced from 15% to 30%. BERYLEX does not impart any air - it does enhance the effect of the vinsol-resin.

PLACEMENT:

Tamp tapping mix into the fresh bonding slurry. Screed and wood float to grade. Steel trowel late and moderately.

CURE:

We recommend using either one of the following curing methods.
1.  Water cure for as long as practical. The thinner the topping the more critical is the cure or hydration process. We recommend 7 days minimum.

2.  Apply a membrane cure such as a thermo-set acrylic or chlorinated rubber containing 26% solids immediately after final tooling.

Is used to make BETTER concrete - Not to replace cement BERYLEX cannot correct human errors or man failures.
