MasterGlenium 3030 | Master Builders Solutions - North America
Recommended uses of MasterGlenium 3030 concrete superplasticizer: Concrete where high flowability, high-early and ultimate strengths and increased durability are needed Self-consolidating concrete Concrete where normal, mid-range, or high-range water-reduction is desired Concrete where normal setting times are required
Superplasticizers in Construction Mortars to Reduce Water
Melflux Fast-Acting Superplasticizers. Highly efficient superplasticizers based on polycarboxylate ethers (PCEs) with excellent fluidification and water reduction properties for dry mortar systems, such as SLUs. All Melflux grades are very low in VOC (volatile organic components), therefore useful to formulate SLUs according to EMICODE EC-1.
Superplasticizers and Air| Concrete Construction Magazine
For example, when we sell a customer 6.0 oz/cwt of [polycarboxylate superplasticizer] as an extra product to a mix so they can increase slump without adding water and shrinkage, our dispatch software automatically drops the air entrainment dosage in the mix for that order from its default of 0.6 oz/cwt to 0.4 oz/cwt.
Selection of Superplasticizers for High-Performance Concrete
Superplasticizers are used to fluidify the concrete in the field. Most of the superplasticizers helped to maintain high slump values for a time of 30 to 45 minutes. But some of the Portland cement do no behave well with the use of superplasticizers. This problem is understood only by the detailed study on the mode of action of superplasticizers.
Sika ViscoCrete-5510 | Superplasticizers
Sika ViscoCrete-5510 is a polycarboxylate based high range superplasticizer for concrete and mortar. Used for the production of site batched and ready mix concrete with extended slump retention, high water reduction and high strength development of concrete mixes. Sika ViscoCrete-5510 acts by different mechanisms.
- 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 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.
- What is polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE)?
- Polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE), the third generation of high-performance superplasticizer, follows the development of ordinary plasticizers and superplasticizers. It significantly reduces water content while enhancing concrete's workability, strength, and durability.
- What are the different types of superplasticizers?
- According to their dispersing functionality and action mode, one distinguishes two classes of superplasticizers: Steric effects: Polycarboxylates - ether (PCE) synthetic polymers bearing lateral chains (third generation).
- Are plasticizers lignosulphonates?
- Traditional plasticizers are lignosulphonates as their sodium salts. Super plasticizers are synthetic polymers. Compounds used as superplasticizers include (1) sulfonated naphthalene formaldehyde condensate, sulfonated melamine formaldehyde condensate, acetone formaldehyde condensate and (2) polycarboxylates ethers.
