Recommended Use
Particularly suitable for plasticizers that are primarily based on polycarboxylate ethers for use in
• ready-mix concrete,
• SCC,
• precast concrete elements and
• screeds.
Recommended Levels
0.025-0.5 % additive (as supplied) based on the total formulation.
For use in concrete plasticizers based on polycarboxylate ethers, we recommend an initial dosage
of 0.2 % as supplied based on the plasticizer.
The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through
a series of laboratory tests.
