• Ceraplast 300 - RS(G) is a high performance new generation superplasticizer cum retarding admixture which lowers the surface tension of water and makes cement particles hydrophilic, resulting in excellent dispersion as well as controls the setting of concrete, depending on dosage. This increases the workability of concrete drastically and also facilitates excellent retention of workability. The workability offered at a lower water-cement ratio eliminates chances of bleeding and increased workability retention allows increased travel time.

• Cera Microseal is a superior cement modifier, modified with selected co-polymers. The polymers form an interpenetrating film around the cement hydration products, which increases the water retention and bonding characteristics of mortar and concrete. The polymer particles also impart a ball-bearing effect to the mortar/concrete, aiding in increased workability.
• Cera Microseal being a free flowing polymer penetrates into the cavities of the concrete and acts as a barrier to prevent the leakage of water. It coats the internal pores and channels of cementitious mixes, thus producing a dense and impermeable material.
