Xtreme WR30
New generation of Set Retarding / Very High Range Water-Reducing /Super plasticizing polycarboxylate

Product Description Dosage

Xtreme WR30 is a high range superplasticising admixture For normal strength concrete: 0.25 to 1.50 liter/ 100 Kg
manufactured from polycarboxylate polymers. of total cementitious material @ 25° C.
The polymer molecule used is specifically developed to For high strength concrete: 1.5 to 4.00 liter /100 kg
provide good flow properties to self compacting concrete, of total cementitious material @ 25° C.
along with improved slump retention properties. The actual dosage rates are dependent on the :
