OptiFlo® 100R

Product Description

Performance Benefits

OptiFlo®100R is a set retarding, water-reducing admixture for concrete. It provides uniform set characteristics for hot weather applications by controlling hydration. This product is a valuable tool to control both plastic and hardened concrete properties. Placing and finishing crews benefit from longer working times when using OptiFlo® 100R. Placing and finishing crews benefit from longer working times and better finishing characteristics of concrete improved with OptiFlo® 100R. OptiFlo® 100R slows the early hydration process that occurs when Portland cement is mixed with water, providing controlled “pre-set” and higher concrete strengths. (More psi per pound of cement) OptiFlo® 100R improves surface paste qualities and superior finished product appearance.
