Specifications
Polycarboxylates ethers-based liquid additive designed to considerably reduce the
mixture water and accelerate the development of compressive strengths, particularly
at short curing times. Superfluidifying additive; reduces water for fluid and super-fluid
concrete; free from chlorides and dangerous substances, as per UNI EN 934-2.
DOSAGE: 1 litre for every 100 kg concrete

The water reduction effect is greater if FLUTERM-S is added to moist concrete after
adding 80-90% of the mix water.
