Concrete Placing
Increases flow, making placing easier — even in heavily reinforced or difficult to access areas — which allows you to focus your efforts on creating decorative concrete.
Makes your mix more workable without adding more water or changing the water-cement ratio.
Temporarily makes concrete more fluid, allowing integral color to disperse much better.
Reduces bleed water, resulting in fewer shrinkage cracks and more evenly colored surfaces.
Improves cohesiveness and reduces concrete segregation.
Allows for the option of adding less water, creating a stronger concrete overall.
