                                                 Application:



                                                Most  concrete  additives  are  chemicals  which  are  added  in  the

                                                concrete  mixing  process,  in  various  amounts  up  to  5%  of  the
                                                weight  of  cement  to  change  some  of  its  characteristics  in  a
                                                desirable way.

                                                Consumption  of  additives in  cement  is  usually  low  and  is
                                                measured as its weight.

                                                Additives are of various types.
                                                Improving  efficiency,  accelerating  or  delaying  in  setting  time,
                                                increasing  resistance  against  freezing,  thermal  cracking,  alkaline

                                                expansion of aggregates and acidic and sulfate solutions are the
                                                reasons behind using additives in cement.
