CretoFlow admixtures are developed to meet the demands of diverse and challenging construction projects. From extended placement times to enhanced durability, corrosion resistance, and freeze-thaw protection, our solutions are designed to optimize every stage of the concrete life cycle.

Featured Products

CretoFlow CS
Slump Retainer
  • Maintains workability and slump retention over long haul distances or extended placement times
  • Prevents premature stiffening during hot-weather concreting or large-volume pours
CretoFlow MW
Mid-Range Water Reducer
  • Balances water demand and flowability, supporting consistent concrete quality during transport and placement
CretoFlow HW
High-Range Water Reducer
  • Provides high workability and flow, enabling easier placement without additional water

Key Benefits

  • Extended placement times without compromising strength
  • Greater consistency across large pours
  • Reduced risk of cold joints

Ideal Applications

  • Mass concrete pours (dams, piers, foundations)
  • Hot-weather concreting
  • Long-distance ready-mix deliveries

2. Corrosion Protection

Advanced protection solutions for reinforced concrete structures in aggressive environments.

Featured Products

CretoFlow AC
Calcium Nitrite Accelerator
  • Provides both acceleration of early strength gain and corrosion protection for steel reinforcement
  • Particularly effective in marine and coastal structures exposed to chlorides
CretoFlow MW & HW
Water Reducers
  • Reduce concrete permeability, slowing chloride penetration and moisture ingress
  • Support denser, more durable concrete matrices

Key Benefits

  • Dual action: early strength + long-term reinforcement protection
  • Lower risk of steel corrosion in aggressive environments
  • Enhanced service life of structures

Ideal Applications

  • Bridge decks

  • Enhances flowability and pumpability for complex placements and architectural concrete
  • Ideal for self-consolidating concrete mixes
CretoFlow MW
Mid-Range Water Reducer
  • Provides balanced workability for general construction, improving ease of finishing and consolidation

Key Benefits

  • Easier pumping and placement
  • Reduced surface defects and cracking
  • Improved finish quality in exposed/architectural concrete

Ideal Applications

  • High-rise construction
  • Precast elements (beams, tunnel linings, slabs)
  • Architectural concrete requiring superior surface finish

4. Acceleration & Early Strength

Fast-setting solutions for time-critical construction projects.

Featured Products
