Application

Recommended Dosage

0.3 - 1.5% by weight of cement depending on requirements concerning workability and strength.

Trial mixes to determine the exact dosage rate require is advisable.

Note:
* Typical dosage rate for use with silica sand is 0.3 - 1.5% by weight of cement.

* Typical dosage rate for use with combination of manufactured sand/volcanic sand is 0.4 - 1.5% by weight of cement.
