Epocon 385 - K

Epocon 385 K is a lignosulfonate-based concrete additive that enhances both the early and final strength of concrete during winter conditions. It acts as a water-reducing and plasticizing agent. It complies with EN 934-2 standard, table 2, and AZS 221 - 2006.

Application Areas

Concrete requiring high early and final strength

Production of ready-mix concrete with or without pumps

Dense, reinforced concrete with placement difficulties

Concrete requiring dense and smooth surfaces

Concrete requiring long transport and workability times during the summer

Concrete requiring early formwork removal

Advantages

Compatible with different types of cement

Increases early and final strength of concrete

Maintains concrete flowability, improving workability and ease of placement

Provides smooth surface finishes

Improves concrete resistance to freezing

Contains no chlorides, so it does not damage steel reinforcements

Ensures easy pumping

Enhances the mechanical properties of concrete, such as shrinkage, tensile strength, and water impermeability
