Arcrete SP-267

High-Range Water Reduce

Comply to ASTM C494 Type F and BS EN 934-2

DESCRIPTION
Arcrete SP-267 is a High-Range Water Reducer developed to enhance and improve the slump retaining properties of
concrete, whilst providing improved ultimate compressive strengths also it improves the flow and strength development
of concrete as it is highly flexible and effective over a wide range of cement contents and types. The product is
especially beneficial in hot climate conditions and complies to ASTM C494 , Type A&F and BS 934-2.

range may be used for special concrete applications. In
such circumstances, it is important to conduct preliminary
trials on the actual mix constituents to assess the effect
on the properties of the concrete at the dosage level
specified.
