CX Water Reducer (formerly NeoMix Original Water Reducer)
About
NeoMix products are now CX products! Same great products that increase strength and reduce cracking, all that’s changed is the name.
CX Water Reducer increases the strength and workability of the concrete mix. Ideal for any indoor, outdoor, or concrete countertop project, CX Water Reducer enables the mix to become more "plastic," or flowable, and less likely to shrink or crack.
Recommended for use with CX Concrete Countertop Admixture or any custom concrete mix.
