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® 380 is a high efficiency polycarboxylate- based super-plasticizer intended for the production of Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC) in ready-mix applications. ADVA 380 has been formulated to extend slump-flow life while imparting extreme workability without segregation to concrete, to achieve high early compressive strength.
ADVA® 390 admixture is a high efficiency, low addition rate polycarboxylate-based high-range water reducer designed for the production of a wide range of concrete mixes, from conventional to Self-Consolidating Concrete. It is designed to impart extreme workability without segregation to the concrete.
ADVA® 395 admixture is a polycarboxylate based high-range water reducer designed for the production of conventional and Self Consolidating Concrete.
It is formulated to provide extended slump life along with excellent workability without segregation.
ADVA® 405 is high efficiency polycarboxylate-based superplasticizer intended for the production of Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC) in ready-mix applications. ADVA® 405 has been formulated to extend slump-flow life while imparting extreme workability without segregation to concrete.
ADVA® 408 is a high range water reducing admixture.
ADVA® FLEX is a revolutionary advancement in time activated polycarboxylate-based high-range water reducer technology. This patent pending, workability (slump and flow) enhancing admixture may be used as an every day high-range water reducer or, at higher dosage rates, it will significantly increase the length of slump or flow retention.
ADVA® XT2 is a revolutionary advancement in time activated polycarboxylate-based technology. This patent pending, workability (slump and flow) enhancing admixture, when used in conjunction with many water reducers (standard, mid-range, or high-range), will significantly increase the duration of slump or flow retention.
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:
Lower SCC viscosity
Self placement
No segregation
ADVA® products are high efficiency polycarboxylate-based superplasticizers 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:
Produce SCC concrete with extremely high levels of workability without segregation.
Provide superior water tolerance to the concrete making it less susceptible to normal manufacturing moisture fluctuations.
Extend slump life to enable batch plant adjustments and predictable job site plastic properties.
Provide superior concrete surface finish characteristics with reduced bugholing.
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.
