Flocrete W52

Flocrete W52 is a liquid concrete admixture that reduces permeability and improves workability. It allows concrete to perform effectively with more water. This improves durability by reducing permeability and increases strength through lower water-cement ratios. It is compatible with other admixtures and cement replacements. Proper dosing is important to achieve benefits while avoiding retardation or changes to setting time.
