For the successful production of concrete products by vibration casting, three essential components are required: pigments, plasticizer and lubricant.
Pigments
- Gives products bright and durable colors;
- Provide a wide color palette to suit different design preferences;
- Added to the concrete mixture to obtain the desired shade.
Plasticizer
- Improves the plasticity of concrete, making it more pliable;
- Increases the fluidity of the mixture, making it easier to fill molds;
- Reduces cement consumption, which leads to savings and increased strength.
Lubricant
- Creates a barrier between concrete and form, preventing sticking;
- Ensures easy removal of formwork after curing;
- Prevents the formation of cracks, pores and other defects on the surface of the product.
