Liquid concrete admixture being dosed into fresh concrete pour
IS & ASTM VerifiedChennai Manufacturing
What Engineering Problem It Solves

Overcomes rapid slump loss, high water demand, honeycombing, and delayed strength development during high-temperature concrete batching and long transit in South India.

Substrate Suitability: OPC 43/53, PPC, PSC, fly ash blends, GGBS, micro-silica, crushed sand (M-sand), and river sand mixes.
Related Solution Protocol: Dense Impermeable Concrete Mixes

Key Performance Advantages

Up to 30% water-cement ratio reduction with superior flow
Extended slump retention up to 3 hours for tropical transit
High early 3-day and 7-day strength acceleration
Superior compatibility with OPC, PPC, GGBS & Fly Ash blends
1Dose admixture directly into gauging water or at the final 10% batching water cycle.
2Mix thoroughly in batching pan or transit mixer drum for minimum 60–90 seconds.
3Conduct on-site slump cone and flow table test to verify targeted rheology.
4Follow standard IS 456 curing regimes to lock in peak hydration.
