Euclid’s special class of high range water reducers lower water/cement ratios, increasing slump to produce flowable concrete. Our high range water reducers offer high early strengths and the enhanced workability and pumpability needed in today’s competitive concrete construction market.

Outstanding strength gain and enhanced finishability are just a few characteristics that Euclid’s mid range water reducers offer. Exceptionally versatile, Euclid’s mid range water reducers provide a 5-15% water reduction without excessive set retardation for improved workability and superior, long-term performance.
