ZYLA® Water-Reducing Admixtures

Producers can enjoy more workability without adding more water? For a concrete admixture that improves the material without any downsides, look to the ZYLA® family of products.

Overview

Better concrete, without downsides.

The products comprising the ZYLA® brand are designed to increase the workability, finishability and durability of concrete. Better still, these products are made with pure chemicals and not by-products, and have no impact on air entrainment.

Increase durability and workability

The ZYLA® family of water reducers provide superior water reduction, compressive strength, and set time control. Designed for versatility, these products work synergistically with other polycarbonate based mid- and high-range water reducers. Use of ZYLA® results in a creamy and homogenous surface for excellent aesthetic and finishability properties.

Synergistic performance

Additional formulations allow for more specialized applications. ZYLA® R is recommended for hot weather, or wherever more time to work, compact, or vibrate a concrete mixture is required.

Cut cleanup times

ZYLA® admixtures are fully compatible with other polycarboxylate based admixtures. For more information on how to incorporate ZYLA® into  your mix design alongside other PC-based water reducing products, contact GCP today.
