Concrete & Beton Admixtures Applications and Guidance

Concrete admixtures refer to substances added to improve and regulate concrete properties, enhancing characteristics such as strength, durability, and workability. However, the selection, addition methods, and compatibility of admixtures significantly impact concrete performance.

Based on their functions, concrete admixtures can be categorized into water-reducing agents, retarders, accelerators, air-entraining agents, waterproofing agents, and others. Mastering the effective use of these additives is our primary focus.
