Epocon 285 - Y

Epocon 285 Y is a lignosulfonate-based concrete additive that increases the early and final strength of concrete, reduces water content, and improves flowability, especially in summer conditions. It complies with EN 934-2, Table 2, and AZS 221 - 2006 standards.

Areas of Application

Concrete requiring high early and final strength

Ready-mix concrete production, with or without pumps

Dense reinforcement concrete with difficult placement

Concrete requiring a smooth and compact surface

Long-duration transport and workability in summer conditions

Concrete requiring early formwork removal

Advantages
