Today it’s +18 °C, tomorrow +7 °C, and the first frosts may arrive within a few days. For ready-mix concrete producers, such temperature fluctuations present a real challenge. It is essential to maintain the workability of the mix during transportation, ensure easy placement, and achieve consistent strength development.
COMPLEX K-3 is designed precisely for these conditions — a plasticizing admixture for ready-mix concrete that performs effectively under changing temperature conditions.
What does COMPLEX K-3 offer?
✔ Concrete mix workability ranging from P1 to P5
✔ Retention of workability for up to 2 hours at temperatures up to +25 °C
✔ Up to 50% of the final strength achieved by the 3rd day
✔ Up to 5% increase in strength at 28 days
✔ Potential cement savings of up to 13%
✔ Suitable for use at ambient temperatures ranging from +25 °C to −5 °C
Why is this important in autumn?
COMPLEX K-3 helps maintain the required technological properties of concrete during transportation by mixer trucks and placement on-site, even when weather conditions change.
Less dependence on temperature fluctuations, easier concrete handling, and opportunities to optimize production costs.
COMPLEX K-3 — when autumn is unpredictable, but concrete performance must remain stable!
