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.
Influence of superplasticizer on strength of concrete - ResearchGate
Today super plasticizers are used in all important projects across the world in high raise buildings, pre-stressed concrete, slender components with congested and densely packed reinforcement,...
Concrete Plasticizer and Super plasticizer Market Size, Share
Concrete Plasticizer And Super Plasticizer Market Research, 2031 The global concrete plasticizer and super plasticizer market size was valued at $5.6 billion in 2025, and is projected to reach $10.4 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2025 to 2031.
Superplasticizer - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
For example, incorporation of 1.5% SMF to a concrete containing Type I, II, and V cements increases the initial slump of 3 in. (76 mm) to 8.7, 8.5, and 9 in. (222, 216, and 229 mm), respectively. The capability of superplasticizers to reduce water requirements 12–25% without affecting the workability leads to production of high-strength concrete and lower permeability.

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 the strength and durability of concretes.
