Conplast SD110
Cement saver for semi-dry concrete in the
masonry block industry
Uses
To reduce material costs in semi-dry concrete manufacture
without loss of performance.
Advantages
 Strengths, density and yield of semi-dry concrete units
can be maintained at lower cement contents.
 Allows higher early and later age strengths to be
obtained without additional cement.
 Improves “green” strength, resulting in fewer losses due
to breakage.
 Air entrainment improves resistance to frost attack.
 Improved mix cohesion allows economical use of a wide
range of aggregates.
Standard compliance
Conplast SD110 meets the uniformity test requirements of
BS5075 Part 1.
Description
Conplast SD110 chloride free admixture is specially
formulated for optimum cost saving across a wide range of
static and mobile (egg-laying) block paving and masonry
production equipment. It is supplied as a brown solution
which instantly disperses in water.
Conplast SD110 disperses the fine particles in the mix,
improving cement dispersion and compaction to maximise
the strength obtained from the cement used. The improved
performance can then be used to allow reductions in cement
content without loss of performance. Controlled air
entrainment maintains yield and improves surface finish while
providing improved resistance to frost attack.
Technical support
Fosroc provides a technical advisory service for on-site
assistance and advice on admixture selection, evaluation
trials and dispensing equipment. Technical data and
guidance can be provided for admixtures and other products
for use with fresh and hardened concrete.

Typical dosage
The optimum dosage of Conplast SD110 to meet specific
requirements should always be determined by trials using
the materials and conditions that will be experienced in use.
This allows the optimisation of admixture dosage, mix
design and equipment settings and provides a complete
assessment of the final product. A starting point for such
trials is to use a dosage within the normal typical range of
0.20 to 0.50 litres per 100 kg of cementitious material,
including PFA, GGBFS or micro-silica.
Use at other dosages
Dosages outside the typical rang quoted above man be
used if necessary and suitable to meet particular mix
requirements, provided that adequate supervision is
available. Compliance with requirements must be assessed
through trial mixes. Contact the Fosroc Technical Service
Department for advice in these cases.
Instructions for use
Compatibility
Contact the Fosroc Technical Service Department for advice
before using Conplast SD110 in a mix containing other
admixtures. Normally only one admixture is used in a semi-
dry concrete mix.
Conplast SD110 is suitable for use with all types of ordinary
Portland cements and cement replacement materials such
as PFA, GGBFS and Silica fume
Dispensing
Conplast SD110 is supplied ready for use and for best
results the correct quantity should be measured by means
of a recommended dispenser and then spayed either onto
the aggregate/sand belt, into the loading hopper or into the
mixer itself. Spraying ensures a more effective dispersion
through a semi-dry concrete mix. Contact the Fosroc
Technical Service Department for advice regarding suitable
equipment and its installation.
Effects of overdosing
An overdose of double the intended amount of Conplast
SD110 is likely to lead to excessive workability, making the
mix too workable for use. There is also likely to be some
setting retardation and reduction in early age strength.
Curing
Normal curing procedures for semi-dry concrete should be
maintained.

Limitations Precautions

Conplast SD110 may be too effective for use with block
manufacturing equipment which provides very high intensity
vibration during compaction. Similarly, if aggregate stock
piles are wet the improvement in water effectiveness may
produce excessive workability. Consult the Fosroc Technical
Service Department for advice in these cases.
Estimating - Packaging
Conplast SD110 is available in drum and bulk supply. For
larger users, storage tanks can be supplied. Details of
specific packaging volumes are available on request.
UN packaging regulations
To comply with current regulations, all products of a
hazardous nature that are involved in a sea crossing as part
of the delivery requirements must be packed in United
Nations approved receptacles.
When a known sea crossing is involved, whether local to the
U.K. or for export worldwide. Fosroc will supply in the correct
UN packaging. Where Fosroc are only requested to delivery
within the United Kingdom mainland, but the purchaser
intends to ship on, it is incumbent on the purchaser to specify
that UN packaging is required at the time of placing the
order. Otherwise, once delivery is received, the
responsibility is that of the purchaser.
The use of UN packaging may affect the selling price of
products. Refer to the local Fosroc office or representative.
Storage
Conplast SD110 should not be swallowed or allowed to come
into contact with skin and eyes.
Wear suitable protective gloves and goggles.
Splashes on the skin should be removed with water. in case
of contact with eyes rinse immediately with plenty of water
and seek medical advice. If swallowed seek medical
attention immediately. Do not induce vomiting.
For further information consult the Material Safety Data
Sheet available for this product.
Fire
Conplast SD110 is water based and non-flammable.
Cleaning and disposal
Spillages of Conplast SD110 should be absorbed onto sand,
earth or vermiculite and transferred to suitable containers.
Remnants should be hosed down with large quantities of
water.
The disposal of excess or waste material should be carried
out in accordance with local legislation under the guidance of
the local waste regulatory authority.
Addition information
Conplast SD110 was previously known as Conplast
Blocksave

Conplast SD110 has a minimum shelf life of 12 months

o
provided the temperature is kept within the range of 2 C to
o
50 C. Should the temperature of the product fall outside this
range then the Fosroc Technical Service Department should
be contacted for advice.
