Darcole Products DNL 485

DNL 485 is a water-reducing admixture for on-site continuous type mixers. The New Generation DNL 485 has various uses for all types of mixers because of its rapid integrating characteristics and the ability to be used in the water supply system. DNL 485 decreases water/cement ratios while increasing the quality of the cement, improving slump loss, splashing, shrinkage, segregation and stabilizing the volume. It greatly enhances pumping and also helps control false set.
