Description

OPTEC® EC 912 is an innovative admixture specifically formulated to enhance the overall appearance of architectural and hardscape concrete masonry units. OPTEC® EC 912, through its novel chemistry, improves colour vibrancy and controls both primary and secondary efflorescence. OPTEC® EC 912 provides a light swipe on the surface of the unit.

OPTEC® EC 912 improves the dispersion of the cement throughout the mix. Through this dispersion action, cement and consequently pigment reductions are possible. OPTEC® EC 912 improves the plasticity of the mix for improved machinability and reduced cycle times.
