Description
Sakshi Chem Sciences has developed ADDAGE PLAST AP 251, a high-quality construction plasticizer that improves the performance of modern concrete, including the workability and durability of the material.
ADDAGE PLAST AP 251 is an advanced type of liquid admixture based on sulphonated naphthalene and is specifically formulated for use in pumpable and ready-mixed concrete applications.
ADDAGE PLAST AP 251 enhances the flow characteristics of concrete, promotes greater cohesion, and reduces the amount of water used in producing concrete without sacrificing strength.
Because ADDAGE PLAST AP 251 is chloride-free, it is safe for use in reinforced cement concrete (RCC) and provides corrosion protection for steel reinforcement bars while helping maintain the performance and structural integrity of the finished product for a long time.
Features
ADDAGE PLAST AP 251 provides a high amount of water reduction with excellent workability and cohesiveness of the concrete mix. It helps to provide a uniform distribution of cement particles, which will help to reduce bleeding and segregation during placement of the concrete.
ADDAGE PLAST AP 251 improves the fluidity of the concrete, making it easier to pump, place and finish. Because it is non-chloride-based, ADDAGE PLAST AP 251 can be used in all RCC applications.
In addition, ADDAGE PLAST AP 251 is compatible with all types of Portland cement (i.e., OPC, PPC, and slag cement). Additionally, ADDAGE PLAST AP 251 provides improved surface finish and long-term durability for cementitious structures.

Recommended Applications
ADDAGE PLAST AP 251 is ideal for a wide range of construction and concrete applications where improved workability and controlled water reduction are required, including:
- Ready-mix and pumpable concrete
- Reinforced cement concrete (RCC) structures
- Slabs, beams, columns, and foundations
- Concrete requiring improved flow and cohesion
- Cement-based surfaces requiring waterproofing performance
- Projects demanding reduced bleeding and segregation
Its adaptability makes it suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial construction projects.
Dosage Guidelines
The quantity of ADDAGE PLAST AP 251 required will fluctuate based on several factors: the type of cement you’re using, the way you’ve designed your concrete mix, the conditions present at your site, and the level of workability needed.
When you follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for dosage, you’ll observe an approximate reduction in water use by 15-20% while still producing consistent, easy-to-work-with concrete.
ADDAGE PLAST AP 251 should be added during batching, then completely mixed so that it gets fully distributed throughout your entire batch of freshly mixed concrete.
You will want to conduct several trial mixes to find the optimum dosage to meet your project’s specific needs. Read and follow ADDAGE’s technical recommendations to ensure you get the best possible results when utilising their products.
Product Benefits
- 15-20% reduction in water use
- Increased fluidity of the concrete when being placed and during finishing
- Reduced bleeding & segregation during the placement of the mortar/finish layer
- Improved pumpability of the concrete mixes.
- Chloride-free formulation, which can be used with all types of Portland cement; including RCC.
- Can continue to provide benefit(s) well into the future; therefore, enhances the structure’s long-term durability and performance.
- Will produce a more uniform finish on the surface.
- Using ADDAGE PLAST AP 251 will allow you to produce concrete that consistently maintains the highest level of quality and performance possible, providing more efficient and reliable concrete production.
Packaging
ADDAGE PLAST AP 251 is packaged in either 50 kg or 220 kg containers providing flexibility for use on small, medium, and large construction projects. The Containers will have sufficient structural integrity to protect them during shipment, receipt, and while being stored on-site until needed.
Storage/ Life Span
When storing your ADDAGE PLAST AP 251, keep it in a cool, dry place protected from the sun and/or poorly ventilated (extremely warm/cool) areas.
Containers should remain tightly sealed when not in use to prevent contamination. When stored under recommended conditions, the product retains its effectiveness and quality throughout its shelf life as specified by the manufacturer.
Safety Precautions
Standard safety measures should be followed during handling and application. Use protective gloves and avoid prolonged skin contact. In case of contact with eyes or skin, rinse immediately with clean water. Do not ingest the product and keep it out of reach of children. Follow site safety practices at all times.
