Dosage: <\/b>Used in the range of 4 to 10% by weight of cement used, depending upon mix design, ambient temperature, and substrate. <\/span>EKAN\u00aeSHOT P10 AF<\/b><\/span> is adjusted for different kinds of cement used and optimum dosage to be determined through tests at the jobsite. The required amount of <\/span>EKAN\u00aeSHOT P10 AF<\/b><\/span> is added into the dry sand\/cement mix usually by dispensing equipment, after the predamping (if done).<\/span><\/p>\nCEMENT:<\/b><\/span> Since <\/span>EKAN\u00aeSHOT P10 AF<\/b><\/span> accelerates complex hydration and crystallization process, difference in composition of cement and fineness affects the consumption considerably. Normal portland cement is recommended as binder.
<\/span><\/p>\nWATER:<\/b><\/span> Waters containing anhydrite sulphate adversly affect shotcreting. For this reason water analysis is required. W\/C ratio can vary between 0.3 to 0.4 depending upon ambient temperature, cement composition and aggregate granulometry. W\/C ratio to be reduced especially at low ambient temperatures.
