Advantages

Improves quality of concrete by decrease in water-cement ratio.; Increases strengths of both compressive and flexural.; Provides superior finish ability on all flatwork and pre-cast surfaces.; Improves pump abilworkability ability of concrete even in mixtures with low contents of cementitious materials.; Reduces water content needed for a given workability.; Reduces cracking and shrinkage.; Reduces surface bleeding and segregation.; Maintains slump life during extended mixing times.; Provides variable control on retarding setting time. (based on dosage rate).

Application

Add 6 to 30 ounces per bag of cement or add 32 to 256 oz per 100 gallons water.
