PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ANW™ Accelerating Normal Water Reducing Admixture is a high-quality concrete additive formulated with a Lignosulfonate base. This innovative product is a plasticizer, water reducer, and early setting additive for concrete applications. ANW™ is designed to meet the stringent requirements outlined in the ASTM C494 standard, ensuring reliability and consistency in performance.
The mechanism of action behind ANW™ is centered on optimizing the distribution of cement particles within the concrete matrix. By incorporating this additive into concrete mixtures, the plasticizer component enhances the overall quality and strength of the concrete. One of its key benefits is the reduction of concrete setting time, achieved by effectively lowering the water-to-cement ratio. This results in accelerated concrete curing and improved early strength development.
ANW™ is a versatile chemical additive suitable for various concrete formulations. It finds utility in projects where ease of concreting, time reduction, and enhanced efficiency are desired. Notably, the composition of ANW™ is free from chloride and other chemical substances known to cause steel corrosion. This ensures the long-term durability and integrity of reinforced concrete structures.
With ANW™ Accelerating Normal Water Reducing Admixture, construction professionals can confidently optimize their concrete mix designs, streamline project timelines, and deliver superior-quality structures that stand the test of time.
