Dosage

Reference dosage 180 - 500 ml/100 kg of cementitious material

The recommended dosage is in the range of 180 - 500 ml/100 kg of cementitious material.

Mixing: Add Pamix 130 to the mix after the materials (cement and aggregates) have been mixed with at least 80% of the mixing water. Mix for at least one and a half minutes.

The best performance of the admixture in the concrete mix is obtained by evaluating the materials to be used; by keeping to this practice with the guidance of PAMIX INTERNATIONAL, S.A., you will obtain the best cost–benefit ratio.

Compatibility
