Setcrete RMW
Setcrete RMW is liquid concrete waterproofing admixture formulated from selected polymers specially designed to reduce the concrete water permeability by reducing capillary voids within the concrete, which will last for the life of the concrete.
Applications
- To produce concrete with lower permeability.
- For water retaining structures and concrete substructures.
Advantages
- More durable concrete due to lower permeability.
- Minimizing segregation problems by improving cohesion.
- Improved workability reduces placing and compaction problems.
