DBM X7 can be used with all types of Portland cements including cement replacement materials, fly ash, silica fume, etc.
DBM X7 should not be premixed under any circumstances with other admixtures. While some admixtures can be usefully combined within the same mix the performance of this product may well be affected by the presence of other chemicals and we recommend that GCP Applied Technologies be contacted for advice in all such circumstances.
DBM® X7 is supplied in nominal 210 litre free, non returnable containers.
Alternatively, 1000 litre IBCs or bulk deliveries can be arranged.
DBM P should be stored in original containers or suitable closed tanks, preferably out of direct sunlight and protected from extremes of temperature.

The performance of DBM X7 is best assessed after preliminary tests on site, to determine the optimum dosage and effect on compressive strength, water absorption, etc.
As a guide to these trials, an addition rate of 0.5%–1.0% DBM X7 by weight of cement is recommended.
Serious overdosing of DBM X7 will generally produce an increase in workability and cohesion of the mix, which could cause slumping particularly within semi-dry mixes.
It is preferable that liquid admixtures for concrete should be introduced into the mixer by means of automatic dispensing equipment. Details are available on request.
