ADVA® is a family of high-range water reducers used in the production of ready mix, precast and prestressed concrete. In addition to providing excellent water reduction, ADVA® 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® 108 is a new superplasticiser based on the polycarboxylate ether polymer technology. ADVA 108 superplasticiser is specially formulated to produce high workability, high slump, flowing concrete with enhanced strength and durability.
ADVA® 108T is a ready-to-use liquid superplasticiser also known as a high range water reducer.
ADVA® 109 is a new superplasticiser based on the latest polycarboxylate-type polymer technology. ADVA 109 superplasticiser is designed to impart high workability, extended slump life, and increased strength performance and enhanced durability to concrete.
ADVA® 146 is a high performance, new generation, mid-range water reducer based on comb polymer technology. It is a ready-to-use liquid admixture with superior dispersing capacity for the cement particles in the concrete mix. This capability exceeds that of normal water-reducing admixtures, resulting in lower dosages and better control. ADVA 146 has a better performance in terms of strength development at early stage within the first 24 hours.
ADVA 146 contains no added chloride. One litre weighs approximately 1.070kg ± 0.02kg.
ADVA 146 produces very low water-cement ratio concrete with extreme workability characteristics. The addition of ADVA 146 will also fluidise concrete making it ideal for high pumping concrete or other applications where high slumps are desired.
ADVA® 189 is a new superplasticiser based on the latest polycarboxylate-type polymer technology. ADVA 189 superplasticiser is designed to impart high workability, extended slump life, and increased strength performance and enhanced durability to concrete.
ADVA® RH398 is a mid-range retarding water-reducing superplasticising admixture based on aqueous solution of chemical dispersants combined with other chemicals which increase its beneficial effects on the quality and plasticity of a concrete mix.
Whether it’s keeping the water/cement ratio to a minimum while achieving high strength and durability or producing extremely workable high slump, there's not a lot that ADVA® products can't do.
ADVA® 405 when used in Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC) provides excellent blemish-free form finishes. ADVA® 198 provides excellent slump retention and near neutral set properties. From design to production to construction, there's no aspect of the concrete creation process that ADVA® can't help with.
Self-Consolidating Concrete 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 produced with ADVA® products provides unique advantages over conventional flowing concrete:
ADVA® products are high efficiency polycarboxylate-based superplasticisers especially formulated to extend slump-flow life while imparting extreme workability without segregation to concrete, to achieve high early compressive strength.
These ADVA® products can:
There is a wide variety of admixtures in the ADVA® product family to achieve nearly any desired result for ready mix, precast and prestressed concrete. We work closely with all of our clients to ensure that they can get the results they want. Our global support team offers 24/7 assistance and consultation for concrete producers.
