Abstract:
Admixtures are not just additives—they are performance enhancers that can improve workability, accelerate or reduce setting times, prevent cracking, enhance durability, and extend service life. By collaborating with trusted material suppliers and staying informed about developments in admixture technology, project teams can develop mixture designs that are tailored to site conditions.
