Researchers use a number of methods to test the performance features of new concrete or mortar admixtures.

Researchers use a number of methods – including the gutter test – to test the performance features of new concrete or mortar admixtures. The aim is to optimize material properties. Depending on requirements, improvements may relate to flowability, durability or strength development. BASF additives such as dispersants and stabilizers help to accomplish these objectives.
