Exilva: Performance as Viscosity Modifier

Demonstrations at our concrete laboratory show the performance of Exilva® as a viscosity modifying agent in concrete. We used a typical mix design for a standard mortar to simulate concrete performance.

Using Exilva as an additive in mortar and concrete can improve viscosity significantly. The effect depends on the dosage. A typical range is 0.5 to 10% liquid by weight of cement.

Key takeaways:

• A sixfold to ninefold increase in yield stress vs control (2.5%)
• Works across all water to cement ratios (w/c)
• Significantly reduced risk of segregation and bleeding

Exilva improves yield stress vs control.
