mortar PRIMARY USES1) To increase workability2) To increase compressive strength3) To effect cement economies4) For hot weather concreting5) For waterproofing of concrete and mortar

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

1) In areas of congested reinforcement where high workability isbeneficial

2) In pre-cast concrete manufacture3) In concrete brick and block manufacture4) For hot weather concrete5) For waterproofing of concrete and mortar

ADVANTAGES

1) Increase workability2) Improves cohesive properly in concrete3) Reduces water demand in concrete4) Reduces permeability in concrete and mortar

ACTION

Diya Plast-Ex is a plasticizer cum integral waterproofing compoundwhich disperses and deflocculates the cement particles within aconcrete mix. It can be used to improve workability, without theaddition of extra water or to allow reductions in free water contentof the concrete mix.
