Self-compacting concrete needs high fluidity, excellent filling ability, and resistance to segregation. Cellulose ethers play a key role in achieving that stability. But there's a downside. The wrong cellulose ether — or poor process control — can push the air content above 8%. The result is a serious loss of hardened strength and a surface
