Areas of Use                 : Can be used for all types of cement including white (except for alumina cement)

For concrete pouring of concrete in cold weather

For pre-stressed and vacuum concrete,

For highly reinforced concrete, for prefabrication concrete,

Concrete requiring early resistance,

For precast applications, early molding

For reducing the cold joint formation possibility,

For producing cohesive and liquid concrete.

Characteristics/Advantages: It distributed cement and sand molecules perfectly within its binding paste.

                                        Compressive strength is high for the first year.

                                        Does not have water-inception characteristic.
