Innovation: Antipor Hydro Cem-50

Antipor Hydro Cem-50 is an innovative high-performance plasticizer for reliably increasing the water content of concrete products or for use of a processing aid in the manufacture of wet concrete products. Antipor HydroCem-50, thanks to the special product formulation, prevents the risk of excessive water amounts. The manufactured concrete products remain stable, while the optical appearance is improved, thus minimizing product waste. The addition of the high-performance plasticizer optimizes the concrete’s conduciveness to compaction, resulting in a denser concrete structure of more...
