There are many concrete admixtures available on the market. We use BASF (formerly Master Builders) products.
POLYHEED® 997 Mid-Range Water-Reducing Admixture
Features
- True mid-range water reduction
- Superior workability, pumpability and finishability qualities even in concrete mixes containing low amounts of cementitious materials
- Compressive and flexural strength performance increased at all ages
- Superior finishing characteristics for residential/commercial flatwork and formed surfaces
Benefits
- Significantly reduced placement and finishing time resulting in lower in-place concrete costs
- Improved concrete durability to damage from freezing and thawing
- Increased service life of concrete structures
POZZUTEC® 20+ Accelerating Admixture
Features
- Accelerated setting time
- Especially effective for concrete placement at ambient temperatures as low as 20 °F (-7 °C)
- Superior workability
- Increased early and ultimate strength
Benefits
- Earlier finishing of slabs – reduced labor costs
- Reduced or eliminated heating and protection time in cold weather
- Earlier stripping and reuse of forms
MB-AE™ 90 Air-Entraining Admixture
Benefits
- Improved resistance to damage from cyclic freezing and thawing
- Improved resistance to scaling from deicing salts
- Improved plasticity and workability
- Reduced permeability – increased watertightness
PS1466 High Range Water-Reducing Admixture
Features
- Increases the slump or flowability of the concrete without adding water.
Benefits
- Improved finishability and surface appearance
- Improved strength development
- Increase slump significantly without changing the water/cement ratio
Delvo Stabilizer
Features
- Retarded setting time
- Improved workability
- Reduced segregation
Benefits
- Allows flexiblity in the scheduling of placing and finishing operations
- Slows slump loss during extended delays, allowing for a loads to be delivered greater distances from the plant.
