Rounding out the line is Water Reducer 444, a highly responsive liquid plasticizer optimized for mixes with a high content of fine sands and particles. It allows fabricators to achieve a smooth, homogenous spray flow for GFRC face coats without causing the mix to sag or slump. When used alongside the 310 or 205 powders, these liquid reducers give concrete artisans total control over setting speeds and consistency in shifting workshop temperatures.
Enhances concrete workability and strength.
