Benefits of Admixtures According to Portland Cement Association

What are the benefits of chemical admixtures?

"Producers use admixtures primarily to reduce the cost of concrete construction; to modify the properties of hardened concrete; to ensure the quality of concrete during mixing, transporting, placing, and curing; and to overcome certain emergencies during concrete operations."
 That is what the experts at the Portland Cement Association say (click on the picture below to access the site)

Admixture benefits according to the British CAA

According to the Cement Admixtures Association of the United Kingdom (http://www.admixtures.org.uk/)


"Admixtures are specially formulated products that are added in small amounts to concrete, mortar or grout during the mixing process in order to modify the concrete properties in the plastic and / or hardened state.

These varied and versatile products provide enhanced concrete quality, improved durability and deliver cost-benefits to both the producer and the user.

The durability, sustainability and environmental profile of concrete can all be enhanced by admixture use."
