Ordinary concrete mixtures are not ideal for pumping. The pressure used to pump the concrete mixture often forces water out of the concrete leaving some portions dry and some wet The friction caused by fine particles in the mixture is another concern. Typically, higher pumping pressure is needed in order to overcome the problem
Simply modifying the mix by adding more sand, cement, or water to achieve pumpability often leads to undesirable physical properties and/or increased in price_ Pumping aids are commonly used to improve the pumpability of concrete and to reduce the overall cost of placement.
A pumping aid is a lubricant that improves the ease with which a given mix can be pumped through a line. This means, with the help of Pumping Aid, the same concrete can be pumped with lower pump pressure which leads to lesser chance of segregation in the concrete and lowers its internal friction.
NIROPUMP PRIMO is inorganic component based specially formulated product for the lubrication of pumps, hoses and lines prior to concrete work.
Use
NIROPUMP PRIMO solution creates a thin lubrication film that reduces friction and prevents blockages. It is a costeffective replacement of other methods of lubrication such as use of cement slurry
The use of existing cement or mortar as a lubricant, inducing strength reduction of concrete and environmental waste disposal problem. This product can eliminate these issues with the addition of high-performance lubrication components to exert an effective coating performance of a small amount in the boom pump piping
