ETONIS® 3500 W makes fresh concrete easier to process and pump because it reduces the frictional forces between cement and aggregates.
It significantly reduces spray rebound while greatly improving adhesion to all substrates, particularly wet surfaces. Concrete modified with ETONIS® 3500 W produces very little dust, especially during dry spraying. The cohesive properties of ETONIS® 3500 W increase the sedimentation stability of concrete and specialty mortars, reducing bleeding and segregation.
ETONIS® 3500 W has a plasticizing effect and reduces the water/cement ratio without compromising the concrete's workability.
In hardened concrete, ETONIS® 3500 W improves adhesion, enhances flexural strength, reduces the modulus of elasticity (imparting flexibility) and increases abrasion resistance. It does not impair the concrete's high ultimate strength. Concrete modified with ETONIS® 3500 W seals against pressing water, shows enhanced carbonation resistance and prevents the ingress of aggressive media into the mix. In combination with suitable foam-control agents, ETONIS® 3500 W also increases compressive and flexural strength.
