• Increases strength of concrete
• High early and 28 days strength if advantage of water reduction is taken.
• Retains the initial workability for longer time.
• Cost effective.
• Can be used with higher grade of concrete.
• Safe in prestressed concrete.
• Improves cohesion thus aids pumping of concrete.
• Makes the concrete denser, hence durability increases.
• High water reduction is possible.
• Chloride free.
• Ideal for mass concreting, pavement concrete.
