    Fosroc Conplast SP454S: High Performance Superplasticising Admixture

    Uploaded by

    Vincent Javate
    Conplast SP454S is a superplasticizing admixture that reduces water demand and increases strength in concrete by dispersing fine particles, allowing for major reductions in water-cement ratio; it improves workability, pumpability, and durability, and is recommended for use in high-quality concrete incorporating cement replacements like slag cement.
