Ingredients added during mixing; often in construction to aid workability of concrete, mortar or grout.
A material other than water, aggregate, or hydraulic cement used as an ingredient of concrete and added to concrete before or during its mixing to modify its properties.
An ingredient added to the core ingredients of concrete to change its properties. Examples include water repellent, coloring, and agents to retard or hasten setting time.
an additional ingredient that is added by mixing with the base; "the growing medium should be equal parts of sand and loam with an admixture of peat moss and cow manure"; "a large intermixture of sand"
Material other than water, aggregate, or basic cementitious material added to the batch before or during job mixing.
anything other than the four basic ingredients (cement, sand, stone, water) in a concrete mix. Admixtures are generally used to enhance or add desirable properities to the concrete, such as strength, durability, ease of handling, controlled setting times and so forth.
Of mixed ancestry or mixed origins.
a material other than water, aggregate, hydraulic cement, supplementary cementing materials, and fiber reinforcement, used as an ingredient of concrete or mortar, and added to the batch immediately before or during its mixing
The act of mixing together.
A material other than water, aggregates, or cement that is used as an ingredient of concrete and is added to the concrete mix immediately before or during the mixing process.
A material other than water, aggregates, and portland cement that is used as an ingredient of concrete, and is added to the batch immediately before or during the mixing operation.
Enhancements added to concrete or mortar to improve technical properties.
Prepared chemicals added to the concrete during the mixing process to improve production efficiencies and/or hardened properties such as density, absorption, efflorescence control, visual appeal, durability and strength.
The action of mixing, the fact of being mixed, something added by mixing or a product of mixing. When two or more components such as component A and component B and perhaps component C are mixed together, then ABC are admixed or represent an admixture of ABC.
A material other than water, aggregates, and hydraulic cement, used as an ingredient of concrete, mortar, or grout and added to the batch immediately before or during its mixing.
A material other than water, aggregates, or cement that is used as an ingredient of concrete or mortar to control setting and early hardening, workability, or to provide additional cementing properties.
A substance added to the basic concrete mixture to alter one or more properties of the concrete; ie fibrous materials for reinforcing, water repellent treatments, and coloring compounds.
An ingredient in concrete—other than water, portland cement, and aggregate—used to modify the properties of concrete in its freshly mixed, setting, or hardened states. May be added to concrete at the batch plant or on the job site. Prepackaged admixtures are available for convenient job site addition, giving contractors the ability to modify the concrete they receive when necessary, such as extending the amount of time available for decorative stamping.
A material other than water, aggregates, sand and Portland cement that is used as ingredients in concrete.
An ingredient in concrete other than water, aggregates, or cement that enhances certain properties of the concrete. Some examples are air entrainment, accelerators, retarders, and water reducers.
A material other than water, aggregates, or hydraulic cement, used as an ingredient of grout or mortar and which is added immediately before or during its mixing.
Substance added to concrete, stucco or mortar for any of a variety of purposes; some purposes being to improve the mix, air entrainment or changing the drying time. Stucco is difficult to trowel unless a small amount of lime is added to the mix. The mixture to which something has been added.
Substance other than prescribed materials of water, aggregate and cementitious materials added to concrete, mortar or grout to improve one or more chemical or physical properties.
