Standard Compliance dosage range is between 0.5 to 1.5 ltrs/100 kg of cementitious
material.
Auramix 300 Complies with IS 9103-1999(2007) . It also complies
with ASTM C 494 Type F & Type G depending on the dosage used. Use at other dosages
Description Dosage outside the normal range quoted above can be used
to meet particular mix requirements. Contact Fosroc for advice
