IZOZENĀ® IZOCARB 3000 PK
IZOZENĀ® IZOCARB 3000 PK is a third-generation polycarboxylate-based superplasticizer for concrete.
It has been developed for ready-mix concrete to ensure:
Extended slump retention
High strength development
Improved flowability and workability
It is particularly effective in normal grade concrete mixes and suitable for hot and tropical climates.
Key Properties
Enables self-compacting concrete (SCC)
Strong self-compacting behavior
Improves trowel-ability and surface finish
High final density and strength properties
Reduced shrinkage, creep, and water permeability
Excellent flowability with minimal compaction efforts
Very good cost/performance ratio
Reduced curing requirements
Chloride-free (safe for reinforced and pre-stressed concrete)
