Betocarb HP - PT is a mineral plasticizer made from high-purity raw materials with consistent fineness. Designed for SCC, it serves as a stability agent to prevent bleeding and segregation, optimizing fine content due to its high chemical affinity. It can partially replace SCMs and viscosity modifiers, offering cost efficiency by maintaining the minimum cement requirement while transitioning from normal concrete to SCC.
