Delay Set Superplasticizer | Fritz-Pak | Concrete Admixtures
The delay set feature of the products helps keep the first layer of concrete plastic as you work your way around the forms. As a premium superplasticizer, this admixture offers up to 40% water reduction and a Supercizer 7 does not contain hazardous materials and comes packaged in our signature water-soluble bags.
Superplasticizer
Superplasticizers ( SPs ), also known as high range water reducers, are additives used in making high strength concrete. Plasticizers are chemical compounds that enable the production of concrete with approximately 15% less water content. Superplasticizers allow reduction in water content by 30% or more.
Evaluation of the superplasticizer effect on the
Superplasticizer (SP) is important for enhancing the workability and setting time of concrete in hot weather. Hence, an expe-ri-mental investigation was conducted to determine the optimum dosage...
Effect of Superplasticizers to Enhance the Properties of Concrete
This study aimed to study the effects of asuperplasticizing admixture, namely, Sikament-NN superplasticizer, on concrete properties, such as workability and compressive strength. Experiments were...
Effect of Super plasticizer for Improvement of Concrete
The water cement ratio was maintained as 0.55, 0.40, to study the effect of these super plasticizer on various properties of concrete. The dosages of super plasticizer were adopted as 0.25% by weight of cement. To study the effect of super plasticizer the experiment has been divided into four series namely workability series, water reduction
- Does superplasticizer increase compressive strength of concrete?
- The tests considered for study are, slump test, slump loss, flow table and compressive strength test The results show that for the constant water cement ratio, increase of superplasticizer dose in properties of concrete leads to gain of good workability. Moreover, there is also increase in compressive strength than that of normal concrete mix.
- Can super plasticizers reduce water content in concrete mix?
- The use of super plasticizers can permit the reduction of water in the concrete mix upto 30% without producing any ill effect on the workability of the concrete i.e. without reduction in the workability of concrete, where as normal plasticizers with doses upto 0.1 to 0.4% by weight of cement can reduce water content from 5 to 15%.
- What is the best superplasticizer for prestressed concrete?
- In addition, aggregates should be cleaned before mixing to wash away the fine particles that stick on the surface of the aggregate. The superplasticizer used in this study is Glenium C380. It is a new superplasticizer, which not only suitable for prestressed concrete, but also for other types of concrete.
- Do plasticizers and superplasticizers improve workability at constant water cement ratio?
- From the experience and knowledge gained from this course of study both, plasticizers and superplasticizers not only improved workability at constant water cement ratio but considerably enhanced the density at reduce water-cement ratio however loss in slump observed.
- 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.
- 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 their flowing ability, they help to reduce the amount of water in the concrete and to improve the strength and durability of concretes. They achieve a reduction in water content without loss of workability.
