GENERAL INFO
Melfores 701 L is an aqueous Sulphonated Melamine based synthetic polymer,which in concrete displays powerful dispersion effect on both cement and pozzolanas. It forms a lubricating layer between the particles and thus lowers the internal friction between the concrete components to yield better consistency, easy flowability, greater workability, fast and higher ultimate strength.
