FEATURES AND BENEFITS • Long extension of initial and final set
• Reduced thermal peaks • Increase in air entrainment
• High workability for longer periods • Bleed/segregation of mix, quick loss of
• Lower pumping pressure workability
• Resistance to segregation even at high • Increased plastic shrinkage
workability A slight overdosing may not adversely affect the
• Extended setting with longer workability ultimate strength of the concrete and can achieve
• Reduced water content for a given workability higher strengths than normal concrete, provided it
• Higher ultimate strengths is properly compacted and cured. Due allowance
• Reduced permeability should be made for the effect of fluid concrete
• Improved durability pressure on form work, and stripping times should
• Reduced shrinkage and creep be monitored.
• Increased ease in finishing concrete In the event of over dosage, consult your local
