MYTH #4: Concrete additives don’t impact drying time The irony of this concrete myth is that some concrete admixtures are MEANT to impact drying time Superplasticizers, for example, like lignosulfonate or polymer compounds, are designed to reduce moisture content in concrete slabs so (in theory, at least) drying times can be reduced.
