Darcole Products DWR 385
- Chemical Family
- Mixtures & Blends
DWR 385 is a water-reducing, accelerating admixture that blends with Portland cement, increasing the cementitious cohesive power of Portland cement, which in turn enables the cement particles to hydrate more thoroughly in hardened concrete. This chemical reaction between DWR 385 and Portland cement results in improved strength, finish ability, durability and appearance.

- Advantages
Increases bonding and flexural strength, reduces segregation and improves workability.; Reduces surface bleeding.; Reduces shrinkage and cracking.; Quality of concrete is improved by decreasing the water-cement ratio (water requirements of concrete reduced 12 to 15 percent).; Accelerates set time.; Improves finish ability on all surfaces.; Improves pump ability of concrete.; Increased durability, which results in damage resistance to freezing and thawing.
- Application
Add 3 to 6 ounces per bag of cement or add 1/2 to 1 gallon per 100 gallons water.
