Helps concrete resist damage from freeze-thaw cycles by allowing space for water to expand as it freezes.
Makes the concrete mix easier to work with and finish, especially in harsh weather conditions.
Helps reduce the likelihood of cracking due to shrinkage and temperature changes.
Speeds up the hardening process, allowing the concrete to reach its strength quicker, which is useful in cold weather or when quick turnaround is needed.
Shortens the time it takes for concrete to start setting, helping to finish projects faster.
Allows for forms to be removed sooner, speeding up construction timelines.
