ADVA®Cast

A high-range water reducing admixture for the precast/prestressed concrete industry.

ADVA-CAST®High-Range Water Reducers for PreCast / Prestressed Concrete

ADVA® Cast Series is a high-range water reducing admixture for the precast/prestressed concrete industry. With excellent placeability and workability, flow through congested forms without segregation, high early strength: there is an ADVA® CAST water reducer to meet all your needs.

 

What is ADVA® Cast?

ADVA® Cast is a series of high-efficiency, polycarboxylate-based, high-range, water-reducing admixtures for the precast/prestressed concrete industry. In addition to providing excellent water reduction, ADVA® Cast products generate higher compressive strengths, better slump retention, improved rheology, enhanced air control, superior finishability and robustness across a wide range of materials, including both flowable and self-consolidating concrete.

 

High-Strength SCC

Solve challenging forms, improve efficiency and quality with high-strength SCC. Self-consolidating concrete is a highly flowable, non-segregating concrete that spreads into place, fills formwork, self-compacts and encapsulates even the most congested reinforcement, all without any mechanical vibration. This type of concrete flows evenly around complex or congested forms without segregation.

Self-consolidating concrete produced with ADVA® Cast products provides unique advantages over conventional flowing concrete resulting in high-quality, high performance, precast concrete elements.
