Application Information

Recommended Dosage

The dosage of VF560 Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer depends on the specific application system, raw material composition, and required performance targets. For most dry-mix mortar and concrete formulations, the common dosage range is 0.05% to 0.5% of cementitious materials. Because construction materials and production systems may vary, the final dosage should always be determined through laboratory and on-site trial mixes according to actual product requirements and application conditions. During production, VF560 should be mixed uniformly with dry powder materials to ensure stable dispersion and consistent performance.

Packaging, Storage & Transportation

Packaging

VF560 is supplied in durable 25 kg plastic woven bags, suitable for domestic and export transportation in global construction chemical supply chains.

Storage

Store in a cool and dry environment between 5°C and 35°C, protected from moisture and direct pressure. Avoid exposure to high-temperature environments, as excessive pressure and humidity may result in caking. Recommended storage duration should not exceed 12 months under proper conditions.

Safety Information and Transportation

VF560 is non-edible. Contact with skin may create a tacky sensation. In case of accidental eye contact, rinse immediately with clean water. The product is non-toxic, non-corrosive, environmentally safe, and non-polluting. It can be transported as general cargo.
