Why isn Mix Water Conditioner considered an admixture?
Mix Water Conditioner isn’t considered a concrete admixture since its conceptual function is to enhance water’s cement hydration capabilities. It focuses on providing additional overall quality to portland cement concrete without targeting one specific area of improvement. Basic materials of concrete are cement, mineral aggregate and mixing water. An admixture is defined as a substance or agent that can be added into a concrete mix to enhance certain desired properties. An admixture is not considered concrete material in the proper sense as is mixing water. Mix Water Conditioner added to already good (potable) concrete mixing water improves it to extraordinarily excellent concrete mixing water status. In fact, potable water still remains potable after Mix Water Conditioner is added.
