Frequently Asked Questions about Fritz-Pak Slick-Pak

Описание: Fritz-Pak's David Ojeda answers your most commonly asked questions about our Slick-Pak concrete pump primers.
1. Why is Slick-Pak better than water?
The short answer is because water will slide down the pipe and create pools. Slick-Pak clings to all sides of the pipe for a thick, even prime.

2. What is the difference between the different Slick-Pak products?
Slick-Pak Liquid creates lower viscosity primer, but it is ready to use in less than 15 minutes.
Slick-Pak is our original concrete primer, and it generates a moderate amount of viscosity.
Slick-Pak II creates the highest level of viscosity and can also be used as a pumping aid when added directly to the truck.
Both Slick-Pak and Slick-Pak II require at least 30 minutes to build up the right consistency.

3.Can Slick-Pak be used to pump pool plaster?
Yes, Slick-Pak is a fine product to use to improve the pumpability of your plaster mix. We recommend using Slick-Pak liquid for the prime and a small dose of Slick-Pak II as a pumping aid.

4. Why did my primed pump plug up when pumping a superplasticized mix?
Even when the pump is primed properly, superplasticized mixes can still dry out and form a plug. This is because even high quality primers, like Slick-Pak, absorb a certain amount of water from the mix. If the mix has very low water content, it can lose too much moisture to the prime.

The solution is to simply dilute the prime for superplasticized mixes. We recommend using twice the amount of water for a traditional primer with Slick-Pak.
