Description
Addage VMA(P) is a water-soluble polymer powder in a free-flowing form with a bulk density of 0.4 gm/cc. It can enhance the viscosity of the concrete while reducing segregation, even with highly fluid mix due to this quality it is identified as a viscosity modifying admixture.
It has an appearance that ranges from white to off-white powder. Its moisture content is less than 5% and it has greater solubility as it is completely soluble in water.
When VMA in concrete is added it improves the concrete viscosity making it easily suitable for pumping and finishing. We designed it to work with high-performance concrete and improve the visual appeal of the structure.
Our experts recommend dosages of VMA in concrete admixture should be 0.1 to 0.4% of the total weight of cement. However, dosages can be determined through on-site trials for best results.
We recommend storing the packages of admixture in a cool and dry place away from direct exposure to sunlight to maintain its quality. Our Addage VMA(P) is available now in 25 Kg of bags. Reach out to us to buy it at the best price before it sells out.
Key Features
ADDAGE VMA(P) is a high-performance viscosity modifying admixture developed to enhance the rheological behavior of concrete. It is a free-flowing, water-soluble polymer powder that effectively modifies the viscosity of concrete mixes without affecting critical properties such as strength development or setting time.
This admixture significantly improves mix stability by controlling segregation and bleeding, making it especially suitable for modern concrete technologies. ADDAGE VMA(P) is engineered to deliver superior water retention and uniform consistency, ensuring smooth placement and excellent finish quality.

Dosage Guidelines
ADDAGE VMA(P) has a specific dosage that depends on your level of concrete mix type(s), application requirement and desired performance with respect to rheology.
The product must generally be added in the batching stage of concrete mix production as part of your mixing process and your site storage practices; the product must be mixed uniformly with other dry ingredients or dissolved into mixing water in a uniform manner.
In order to achieve optimal results with regard to viscosity control and mix consistency, it is crucial that the product be mixed thoroughly throughout the entire batching process prior to use.
It is highly recommended that you follow the dosage guidelines provided by Addage for the product so as not to exceed the desired viscosity of your concrete mixture.
Advantages of Using This Product:
- VMA adds rheology enhancement to your mixture, thereby improving the viscosity and stability of concrete mixtures.
- Aids in controlling segregation and bleeding.
- Enhances the workability of a mixture, while not adding water to it.
- Improved retention of moisture, leading to reductions in washout.
- Allows for easy and smooth job site placement and finishing.
- Adds to the utility of dry mix concrete (DMC) and self-compacting concrete (SCC).
- Allows for the maintenance of the strength and curing characteristics of your concrete mixtures.
- Fully compatible with all common concrete additive products.
If you’re looking for a product that will provide you with a stable concrete product and work well in conjunction with multiple applications, then ADDAGE VMA(P) is an essential component to consider.
Packaging Information:
ADDAGE VMA(P) is packaged in bags of 25 kg and packaged in a moisture-resistant manner for easy transport and storage on construction sites.
Storage & Shelf Life
Store ADDAGE VMA(P) in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Bags should be kept tightly sealed until use. When stored under recommended conditions, the product maintains its quality and effectiveness for a long shelf life as specified by the manufacturer.
Safety Precautions
Use protective gloves and a dust mask while handling the powder. Avoid inhalation of dust and prolonged skin contact. In case of contact with eyes or skin, rinse thoroughly with clean water. Wash hands after use and keep the product away from moisture and heat.
