Description

Quad® 560 is a new‑generation water‑reducing plasticising admixture incorporating Quad GRAFT Technology. Developed using advanced hybrid polymer technology, it has been specifically formulated to improve the rheology of concretes containing manufactured sands, crushed fine aggregates, gap‑graded aggregates, and marine sands.

Quad® 560 offers excellent flexibility across a wide dosage range and can be used in a variety of concrete types, including low water/cement ratio mixes. It enables the production of high‑workability concrete without increasing mix water content and can support cement optimisation through improved aggregate utilisation.
