What is ADVA® Cast?
ADVA® Cast is a series of high efficiency, polycarboxylate-based, high-range water-reducing admixtures for the precast/prestressed concrete industry. In addition to providing excellent water reduction, ADVA® Cast products generate higher compressive strengths, better slump retention, improved rheology, enhanced air control, superior finishability and robustness across a wide range of materials, including both flowable and self-consolidating concrete.

ADVA® CAST 552 is a powerful superplasticiser designed to yield high range water reduction, short setting time and very high early compressive strength as required by the precast industry.
ADVA® CAST 554 is a powerful superplasticiser with accelerating properties designed to yield high range water reduction, short setting time and very high early compressive strength as required by the precast industry.
ADVA® Cast 560 is an accelerating superplasticising admixture designed to yield high range water reduction, short setting time and very high early compressive strength as required by the precast industry.
ADVA® Flow 340 is a high performance high efficiency, new generation admixture designed to impart extremely high consistence and enable the production of self compacting concrete.
ADVA® Flow 340 is extremely efficient, allowing the production of high flow / self-compacting concrete without excessive admixture dosage and at ‘normal’ water contents.
ADVA® FLOW 346 is a high performance high efficiency, new generation admixture designed to impart extremely high consistence and enable the production of self compacting concrete.
Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC) is a highly flowable, non-segregating concrete that spreads into place, fills formwork, self-compacts and encapsulates even the most congested reinforcement, all without any mechanical vibration. SCC flows evenly around complex or congested forms without segregation. SCC produced with ADVA® Cast products provides unique advantages over conventional flowing concrete:
This results in high-quality, high performance, precast concrete elements.
