Features & Benefits

Gelling Function

Most of all contractors in the plaster/stucco, shotcrete, and masonry industries know about water reducers, plasticizers, and air entraing agents, but when it comes to the gelling function they ask what it is and what it does. The gelling function allows the mix design to magnetically bond so as to disallow separation of the mortar thereby providing easier pumping, increased density, and increased workability. Kel-Crete Premium Liquid Admixture is the only admixture on the market that provides all four functions.
