Does Mix Water Enhancer™ use require special mixing procedures other than the one above?
(A) No. However, for best benefits/results, concrete should he mixed for an adequate period of time, prior to placement whether using Mix Water Enhancer™ or not. Optimal mix time for concrete utilizing Mix Water Enhancer™ in its mix water should be equivalent to a cumulative total of approximately 250-300 revolutions in a transit mixer drum. Mix water volume should be calculated, without allowing any water reduction for water loss agents, plasticizers, or super plasticizers, where they are not to be used. Mix Water Enhancer™ implements easy shear of the cement particle hydrate envelopes, making adequate mix water volume and mixing time very important, especially since the easy shear actions also increase concrete’s cementitious material to water ratio, resulting in a concrete with low water-cement ratio quality, or even better.
