Features
- Enhanced durability – plasticisers improve overall durability by reducing water content, resulting in a denser, stronger concrete with lower permeability and increased resistance to wear.
- Extended 'open' life – plasticisers help maintain workability by reducing friction between particles, providing extended slump retention for longer working times.
- Controlled setting times – retarders are added to delay setting times, allowing for better control during placement, particularly in hot weather or large pours.
Benefits
- Improved workability – the additives keep the mix fluid for longer, making it easier to handle and pour into complex formworks.
- Enhanced performance – plasticisers and retarders help create a solid, consistent mix, resulting in concrete that lasts longer and performs better.
- Easier finishing – improved consistency and longer workability make pouring and finishing easier, resulting in a smooth, uniform surface.
- Reduced permeability – lower water content and a denser microstructure minimise voids in the hardened concrete, reducing permeability and protecting against water ingress and environmental damage.
