QUANTEC® PL 499

Plasticiser

Description

QUANTEC® PL 499 is a specially formulated admixture for the use in manufacture of machined concrete products where the process requires zero or low slump concrete and where a smoother, denser, surface finish with a swipe is desirable.

QUANTEC® PL 499 is supplied with as a chemically formulated, ready-to-use liquid. Its low viscosity, approximating that of water, ensures rapid and accurate dispensing.
