Concrete water reducers are a type of concrete additives that are added to the concrete before concrete is poured. In the division of chemical additives, water reducers fall into the category of retarders. Water reducers or concrete lubricants usually reduce water content by between 5% and 5% and increase slump and concrete efficiency without the need to add water.
