EUCON AWA-P20 Anti-Washout Concrete Admixture

Euclid Chemical's EUCON AWA-P20 anti-washout concrete admixture is ready-to-use and designed to modify the rheology of self-consolidating concrete and prevent the loss of cement and fine aggregate during the placement of underwater concrete, while not discoloring the concrete. Featuring thixotropic properties, it can also be used to reduce excessive bleeding and segregation of concrete or mortar during pumping. Recommended for use with the PLASTOL line of polycarboxylate-based admixtures, EUCON AWA-P20 does not contain any added chlorides or chemicals known to promote the corrosion of steel. It also minimizes environmental impact by reducing concrete washout and eliminating the need for expensive de-watering during underwater construction.
