Advantages Dosage

„ Increased early and ultimate compressive strengths The optimum dosage of Structuro W435 to meet specific
requirements should always be determined by trials using
„ Increased flexural strength

cement dispersion. At the start of the mixing process an
electrocstatic dispersion occurs but the presence of the lateral
chains, linked to the polymer backbone, generate a steric
hindrance which stabilises the cement particle’s capacity to
separate and disperse. This mechanism considerably
reduces the water demand in flowable concrete.
