What does Counter-Flo do to concrete?
It makes it easier to place, reduces water, increases strength, and reduces shrinkage cracks to produce a smoother finish.
Concrete countertops and statuary have grown in popularity over the years because they can be manufactured with both elegance and durability. Unfortunately, the concrete mix needs to be designed with the proper specifications to maintain the aesthetic and strength of the final piece. That’s why Fritz-Pak created Counter Flo, a unique concrete countertop admixture formulated to improve the concrete to meet the requirements for these types of mixes. Counter Flo is a mixture of water reducers and minerals that create a more flowing concrete without adding water. This allows for easier placement in the molds and prevents voids and weak places in the concrete. Additionally, adding Counter-Flo to your concrete mix reduces the mix’s permeability, lowering the risk of staining. Finally, as a concrete countertop admixture, Counter-Flo lowers the air content of the mix to help provide an even finishing pattern on the countertop.

Counter-Flo is compatible with most concrete and cement admixtures. If adding other admixtures, they should be added separately into the mix. Testing of compatibility with other admixtures is required prior to production use. Counter-Flo does not contain calcium chloride, nitrates or other potentially corrosive materials.
