Uni Plast NP Advantages
Uni Plast NP is a low cost water reducer, which can be used to get one or combination of benefits
- As a water reducer: (for increased strength) Reduction in the water cement ratio to maintain designed workability, increased strength. The concrete is also denser with lower permeability.
- As a workability aid: Increased workability can be achieved by using Uni Plast NP for a given water cement ratio which will increase the flow characteristics of the concrete leading to easy placement, compaction and finishing.
- Reduction of cement content: Uni Plast NP can be used to reduce cement content to the extent of 8 to 10% by maintaining the original strength specified and workability and reducing the water content required for the given mix.

Instruction for Uni Plast NP Use
Normal Plasticizer Cum Water Reducing Concrete Admixture
Uni Plast NP is added to part of the mixing water prior to its addition to wet aggregate cement mix. 0.3 to 0.5% by weight of cement. It is advisable to carry out trial mixes to establish the exact dosage rate required. It is compatible with all types of Portland & PPC cement.
