Bycol Clear - Tasmanian Supplier

Diggers Bycol Clear is a high-quality, air-entraining admixture and plasticiser specifically designed to enhance the workability and durability of brickwork mortars and concrete mixes. Often referred to as "liquid ball bearings," it creates a creamier, more cohesive consistency that makes mixing and application significantly easier for tradespeople and DIYers alike. Unlike the "Dark" version intended for polished rendering, the Clear formulation is ideal for projects requiring a clean, uniform finish that preserves the natural or light colour of the mortar. 

By incorporating Diggers Bycol Clear into your mix, you effectively compensate for poorly graded or "hungry" sands that can otherwise lead to uneven results. Its specialised formula works by entraining microscopic air bubbles, which reduces segregation and "bleeding" (water rising to the surface). This results in a stronger bond, faster curing times, and improved resistance to shrinkage cracking, ensuring a high-quality and long-lasting construction finish.
