TamCem 6R

Water-Reducing Retarding Admixture for Concrete

DESCRIPTION

TamCem 6R is a special plasticizer for concrete. It is a nonchloride liquid admixture specially formulated to give water
reduction and impact workability and extended open time to
concrete. It is compatible with all cements meeting
recognized international standards and to comply with the
requirements of ASTM C 494 for Type B & D water reducing
and retarding admixtures.
TamCem 6R extended the hydration process for retarding
both initial and final time of setting and perform significant
dispersibility to cement particles; thus enhance in strength
development.
