How Super Are Superplasticizers? - Concrete Construction
Superplasticizers can be used in three ways: to create flowing, self-leveling concrete without increasing water, without reducing cement and without sacrificing strength; to produce workable, high-strength concrete by reducing the water and thus the water-cement ratio; or, to save cement by reducing both the water and cement contents while
Superplasticizers
Superplasticizers High-level water reduction products can be used in high strength concrete, pumpability, self-consolidating concrete, low permeability, low water absorption concrete and low shrinkage application.

Supercizer 7. $ 305.00. Add to cart. SKU: 97140 Category: Supercizers & Water Reducers. Superplasticizers are among the most used concrete admixtures. These powerful chemical products increase the slump of the concrete without compromising on strength. And when it comes to developing the strength of the concrete, particularly the early strength
Use of Water Reducers, Retarders, and Superplasticizers.
There are four types of superplasticizers: sulfonated melamine, sulfonated naphthalene, modified lignosulfonates and a combination of high dosages of water reducing and accelerating admixtures. Commonly used are melamine based and naphthalene based superplasticizers.
- What is a superplasticizer used for?
- Superplasticizers (SPs), also known as high range water reducers, are additives used for making high strength concrete or to place self-compacting concrete. Plasticizers are chemical compounds enabling the production of concrete with approximately 15% less water content. Superplasticizers allow reduction in water content by 30% or more.
- Do I need A superplasticizer?
- If Yes, you need superplasticizers. What are superplasticizers?
- Superplasticizers are admixtures that increase the workability and flow ability of concrete without the need to add excess water. These additives act like high range water reducers and allow designers to make high-strength concrete.
- What is a superplasticizer in concrete?
- Superplasticizers allow a 30% or more reduction in water content. It is chemical admixtures that are added to the concrete to improve its flowing ability, they help to reduce the amount of water in the concrete and to improve the strength and durability of concrete. They achieve a reduction in water content without loss of workability.
- What is the difference between a plasticizer and a superplasticizer?
- Plasticizers are chemical compounds enabling the production of concrete with approximately 15% less water content. Superplasticizers allow reduction in water content by 30% or more. These additives are employed at the level of a few weight percent. Plasticizers and superplasticizers also retard the setting and hardening of concrete.
- Are superplasticizers better than conventional concrete?
- In concrete with superplasticizers, the slump loss is far greater than conventional concrete. The concrete are costlier as the additional cost of admixture is there. Superplasticizers are advanced and higher-value chemicals than other water reducers. They also increase air entrainment in concrete which is not beneficial in certain structures.
- Can a superplasticizer be used to reduce water content?
- The use of superplasticizers allows this water reduction without affecting workability. Water reduction of up to 30% can be achieved and concrete with a w/c ratio below 0.28 has been placed successfully. Superplasticizers can be used to produce concrete with reduced cement content without changing the w/c ratio.
