Concrete Admixtures - Sika
Chemical Admixtures Are One of the Components in High Performance Concrete. The first step in optimizing concrete is to recognize that concrete is no longer simply cementitious materials, aggregates and water. It is a high performance material with not just four, but seven essentials – consisting of water, cementitious material, sand, gravel
MasterGlenium 3030 | Master Builders Solutions - North America
MasterGlenium 3030 ready-to-use full-range water-reducing admixture is a patented new generation of superplasticizers based on polycarboxylate chemistry. MasterGlenium 3030 admixture is very effective in producing concretes with different levels of workability including applications that require the use of self-consolidating concrete (SCC).
Admixtures - Euclid Chemical
Concrete additives to improve concrete durability and produce high performance concrete. Our offering includes: plasticizers, air entertainers, accelerators, retarders, water reducers, corrosion inhibitors, hydration stabilizers, micro-silica, shrinkage control, rheology modifiers, waterproofing, and much more!
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.
Concrete Admixtures - Sika Corporation
Concrete admixtures are natural or manufactured chemicals or additives added during concrete mixing to enhance specific properties of the fresh or hardened concrete, such as workability, durability, or early and final strength. Sika has been producing high quality, innovative technologies for concrete, beginning with the first product named
- What is a polycarboxylate ether superplasticizer?
- The polycarboxylate ether superplasticizer is an additive commonly used in concrete engineering and has a wide range of applications. The PCE based admixture can significantly reduce the amount of cement and improve the fluidity and pumpability of concrete while ensuring the strength and durability of concrete.
- What is polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE)?
- Polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE), also known as polycarboxylate ether superplasticizer, is a new generation of high-performance concrete admixture.
- Can polycarboxylate based superplasticizer improve the crack resistance of concrete?
- The polycarboxylate based superplasticizer can improve the crack resistance of concrete. After adding an appropriate amount of water reducing agent in concrete, the internal structure of the concrete can be improved and the contraction and cracking of concrete can be reduced.
- What are the advantages of polycarboxylate based superplasticizer?
- Low dosage and high water reduction rate. The water reduction rate of polycarboxylate based superplasticizer can be as high as 45%, which can be used to prepare high-strength and high-performance concrete. Small loss when slump is light.
- What is PCE superplasticizer?
- PCE superplasticizer is a high-performance water reducing agent that integrates many functions such as high water reduction, high collapse retention, reinforcement, shrinkage, and environmental protection. It is also an ideal admixture for preparing high-strength and high-performance concrete.
- How to store PCE polycarboxylate superplasticizer?
- The PCE polycarboxylate superplasticizer should be stored in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight and rain. At the same time, it should be kept away from fire and heat sources to prevent fire or explosion accidents. Water seepage problem.
