TYTRO® MF 120 is an aqueous water-reducing admixture specifically formulated to enhance the properties of cementitious mine backfill. Manufactured under closely controlled conditions to provide uniform, predictable higher quality performance, GCP’s TYTRO® MF 120 contains no added chlorides.
TYTRO® MF 120 is used in all mine backfill applications where it is desired to minimize the binder content yet maintaining workability, and especially in the following applications:
The dosage of TYTRO® MF 120 can vary based on the mix design, binder content, and the particle size distribution of the backfill material. The normal dosage range of TYTRO® MF is 300 to 1,300 mL/ton of backfill. Should conditions require using more than the recommended addition rates, please consult your GCP representative.
GCP recommends that trials be performed under local conditions before use to assess and optimize dosage rates and performance.
TYTRO® MF 120 can be dispensed directly into the water or the entire wetted out mix. TYTRO® MF 120 should not be dispensed directly on to the dry binder or with other admixtures.
TYTRO® MF 120 is available in bulk, delivered by metered tank trucks, 1,040 liter totes, and 210 liter drums.
TYTRO® MF 120 should be stored at a temperature range of 2°C to 35 °C.
