£3.49 ex. VATSika Wintermix is a chloride-free liquid admixture that improves the workability, frost resistance, and durability of mortar and concrete in sub-zero temperatures. It acts as an accelerator, enhancing freeze/thaw resistance down to -8°C while eliminating the need for a separate frostproofer. Non-corrosive to embedded metal, it also reduces bleeding, shrinkage, and segregation, ensuring better alignment and easier troweling. Additionally, it replaces lime in the mix, minimizing the risk of lime bloom and efflorescence, and allows for faster finishing times even in cold weather. &n
