Darcole Products DNL 285
- Chemical Family
- Mixtures & Blends
DNL 285 is a water-reducing admixture. DNL 285 has various uses for all types of mixers because of its rapid integrating characteristics and the ability to be used in the water supply system. Common uses for DNL 285 include mortar, countertops, and adhesive coatings. Because DNL 285 is colorless, there is no change in the color of the mix or the color of the final product. DNL 285 decreases water/ cement ratios while increasing the quality of cement and/or plaster, improving slump loss, splashing, shrinkage, segregation and stabilizing the volume.
