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.

Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer (PCE) For Concrete
Besides, it can be completely water easily. The water reduction efficiency of PCE concrete admixture can be up to 25%. It is mainly used in the ready-mixed and precast concrete industries where the highest durability and performance is required. 3. High Slump Retention. PCE-High Slump Retention is a new generation superplasticizer for concrete.
Superplasticizer: Types, Advantages & Disadvantages
Plasticizers are chemical compounds that enable the production of concrete with approximately 15% less water content. 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
Plasticizers For Concrete - Principle, Types & Advantages
Based on the principle of working, plasticizers are classified as: Hydrophilic Hydrophobizing 1. Hydrophilic Plasticizers Hydrophilic Plasticizers is characterized by increased wettability, the main function of which is to increase the plastic and flow characteristics of the concrete. 2. Hydrophobizing Plasticizers
- What is sikacim® concrete admixture?
- Increased watertightness. SikaCim® Concrete Additive is a high range water reducing concrete admixture specially formulated for the precast concrete element industry; to meet the demand of early removal of formwork due to the early strength gain. Enables concrete placing equipment to be used to its full capacity. Effective throughout dosage range.
- How much sikacim ® concrete additive can be used?
- SikaCim® Concrete Additive can be used at the dose rate 0.30 % - 2.0 % by total weight of cementitious material depending on requirements concerning workability and strength. It is recommended that trial mixes be conducted to determine the exact dosage rate required.
- What is superplasticizer used in gypsum panel & plasterboard process?
- Superplasticizer can be used in the gypsum panel and plasterboard process. In mixing compound phase, a small amount of superplasticizer are used so that the slurry will flow during manufacture, and to reduce the water and hence the drying time. Superplasticizer is used in pipe jacking method.
- What is superplasticizer used in pipe jacking method?
- Superplasticizer is used in pipe jacking method. Superplasticizer use is for water cut-off materials or durable and high resistance waterproofing membranes for shield tunneling method. PCE also can be added for mud withdrawal process to reduce viscosity and increase fluidity.
- Can sikacim® concrete additive be added to gauging water?
- SikaCim® Concrete Additive can be added to the gauging water prior to its addition to the dry aggregates or separately to the freshly mixed concrete (on the batching plant or on site into the truck mixer) where added to truck mixer on site, further mixing for three to five minutes should be carried out.
