Description

 

ROCKBOND ADMIX 201 (RB A201) powder is a blend of admixtures which has been specially formulated to mix and produce high workability grouts and concretes. The compound, when dissolved in water, will produce fluid grouts and free flowing, self compacting concrete mixes at very low water contents. The admixture will reduce the water content of cementitious mixes by 40% or more. The powder is supplied to order, packaged in moisture proof, durable bags and has a shelf life of 5 years.
