The mixing time after dosage of the agent depends on the mixing energy, whereas a minimum mixing time of 60 seconds must be followed.

Addition of any other chemical admixture should be undertaken separately.

Addition Rates

200mL - 4280 mL per 100 kg cement
0.2%-4.28% (v/w) by wt. of cement

As with most products of this type, the magnitude of the effect obtained with ADVA® Flow 375 (BV/FM) is governed by the quantity of product used, w/c ratio, and the specific nature of the concrete and constituent materials.

It is necessary therefore to assess performance under site conditions using actual materials to determine optimum performance and dosage.  For advice and assistance with trials, please consult your local GCP representative.
