Chemical Admixtures - Cement
Superplasticizers, also known as plasticizers or high-range water reducers (HRWR), reduce water content by 12 to 30 percent and can be added to concrete with a low-to-normal slump and water-cement ratio to make high-slump flowing concrete. Flowing concrete is a highly fluid but workable concrete that can be placed with little or no vibration or

- 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.
- What is a superplasticizer?
- Superplasticizer is chemical admixtures added to the concrete to improve their flowing ability also known as high range water reducers.
- How a super plasticizer can be used to make concrete?
- With the use of super plasticizers, flowing concrete could be produced with the water/cement ratio as low as 0.25 or even less. The strength of such concrete was found 120 MPa (1200 kg/cm 2) or more. The use of super plasticizers also made it possible to use the fly ash, slag and silica fume to produce high quality concrete.
- What is a super plasticizer?
- Classification of Super Plasticizers 3. Uses. Super plasticizers are also called high range water reducers. They are of recent origin and relatively are more effective type water reducing admixtures. They were developed in Japan and Germany during 1960 and 1970 respectively. Chemically they are different from normal plasticizers.
- 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.
- Do super plasticizers entrain air in concrete?
- As super plasticizers do not reduce the surface tension of water to a great extent, they have not found to entrain significant amount of air in concrete.
