PWS 8 - Plasticizer

Short Detail
Plasticizer / water reducer for concretes with high mechanical strengths

---

Standard ASTM C 494-C 494M/Type D  
 
• PWS-8 is a concrete additive whose specific formulation allows a very pronounced deflocculating action, especially on the fine elements of concrete.

• For one hour, HWS-8 guarantees at least one slump of 8 cm at 35 ° C.

• PWS-8 allows the optimization of the cement dosage to obtain a specific resistance class.

• With equal plasticity, after reduction of the mixing water, we can see: -improvement in the compactness of the concrete, -decrease in capillary absorption, -depending on dosage, an increase in mechanical performance from 24 hours of age. 

• PWS-8 has water-repellent properties and can be used to reduce the capillary absorption of concrete. 
 
Uses

• All types of cement

• Pumped concrete
