Recommeded uses:

• Hot weather concrete where control of initial and final set is important
• White cement concrete
  
• Mass concrete e.g. roller compacted
• Mass concrete e.g. Roller Compacted Concrete for dams/pavements
• High strength mixes, to control set of concrete particularly in high ambient temperatures
• Retarded mortar applications

What makes MasterPozzolith 55R unique solution?

Extension of initial and final set in numerous applications, such as structural in-situ concrete, RCC mass pours, piling concrete

What are the benefits of MasterPozzolith 55R?
