Accelerating admixtures are especially useful for modifying the properties of concrete in cold weather. 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
HV6128 - Institute of Physics
polycarboxylate superplasticizer with high water retention. The performance test results show that the product has high water-reducing ratio and better workability when applied to concrete, which can effectively retain the moisture in concrete and ensure the stability of concrete fluidity. 1. Introduction
Mix Design With Superplasticizers - Civil Engineering Portal
The Superplasticizers are broadly classified into four groups: sulfonated melamine formaldehyde condensate (SMF), sulphonated naphthalene formaldehyde condensate (SNF), modified lignosulphonate (MLS) and others including sulphonic acid ester, polyacrylates, polystryrene sulphonates, etc.
- 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 permit 30% or more reductions in water content. It is chemical mixings that are added to the concrete to develop its flowing capacity, they assist to minimise the quantity of water in the concrete and enhancing the durability and strength of concrete.
- Do superplasticizers reduce the water requirement of concrete?
- Superplasticizers are capable of reducing the water requirement of concrete by 15%–30% without affecting workability. The resulting concrete will show a higher strength and lower permeability. The amount of water reduction achievable with a particular superplasticizer depends on dosage and initial slump.
- 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.
- Which superplasticizer is best for precast concrete?
- In this way, the water content can be reduced without affecting the material's usability. Sulfonated melamine formaldehyde condensates are normally preferred superplasticizers within the precast concrete domain because they do not diffuse the cement setting. Sulphonated Naphthalene Formaldehyde is a high scale water reducer superplasticizer.
- Can a superplasticizer be used to reduce water content?
- The use of superplasticizers allows this water reduction without affecting workability. Water reduction of up to 30% can be achieved and concrete with a w/c ratio below 0.28 has been placed successfully. Superplasticizers can be used to produce concrete with reduced cement content without changing the w/c ratio.
