Improved Strength

28-day compressive strength increases by up to 10% (ASTM C39). Withstands hydrostatic pressure tested to 150m head of water.

Non-Toxic & Safe

Chloride-free formula. Safe for drinking water structures, swimming pools, and waste water plants. No toxic compounds.

Easy Integration

Added directly at the batching plant , no surface preparation, seams, or joints. Works in any weather condition.

Chemical Resistance

Resistant to sulphate attack, chloride ingress, and alkali/acid conditions in the pH range 3–11 with constant contact.
