ADVA® Cast LS Admixtures

Enable the production of less sticky, high strength concrete for the precast/prestressed industry

ADVA® Cast LS is a family of admixtures formulated with the latest patented polycarboxylate technology and specially designed to reduce the stickiness of concrete, particularly high strength concrete, for the precast/prestressed industry.

 

Overview

Improve Efficiency and Quality

Producing high strength and ultra-high strength precast elements with consistent quality and fast turnaround to meet construction schedules can be challenging. Stickiness in the concrete mix is one of the potential issues that can arise. A sticky mix at the precast plant can be taxing for the workers, take longer to produce and demould and deliver poor surface finish.   

ADVA® Cast LS admixtures are highly effective in reducing the stickiness of high strength and ultra-high strength precast concrete. By reducing stickiness, ADVA® Cast LS admixtures can also reduce bugholes and improve finish of high strength architectural precast concrete. This results in

  • Faster demould and less labour
  • Improved quality and surface finish
  • Energy savings and enhanced efficiency
