During the summer season, concrete producers often face the challenge of slump loss during transportation. High temperatures, traffic congestion, and long distances to the job site can cause concrete to begin setting before placement even starts.
To address these conditions, our company offers KOMPLEX K-11 — a plasticizing admixture with a retarding effect designed to maintain the workability and technological properties of concrete mixtures for extended periods at ambient temperatures of up to 40°C.
KOMPLEX K-11 improves the plasticity and workability of concrete, promotes proper compaction, and helps preserve the designed strength characteristics of concrete structures. Its retarding action prevents premature setting during transportation and concrete placement in hot weather conditions.
KOMPLEX K-11 is particularly effective for ready-mix concrete producers supplying remote construction sites or working in regions with high summer temperatures. The admixture helps maintain the initial slump of concrete mixtures for up to 4 hours without segregation, bleeding, or loss of workability.
