Superplasticizer: Types, Advantages & Disadvantages
Superplasticizers (SPs) are also known as high- range water reducers that are additive used in making high strength concrete. 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.
New Trend in the Development of Concrete Admixtures in Japan
This paper describes the history and new trends in the development of chemical admixtures in Japan. PC (polycarboxylic acid)-based agents are the main products in the superplasticizer market....
Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer Powder & Liquid for Concrete
Polycarboxylate superplasticizers have become one of the most important superplasticizers in the concrete admixture market, that’s due to its outstanding advantages, such as high water-reducing rate, good effect, good adaptability with cement, and slump protection performance.

- What is a superplasticizer admixture?
- Superplasticizers are water-reducing admixtures used in concrete production to reduce the need for more than 30% of water. They operate at a certain percentage level. One of their main purposes is to prevent concrete from setting too quickly.
- 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 are the superplasticizing admixtures for concrete?
- As for other superplasticizing admixtures for concrete, napthalene formaldehyde condensate or melamine formaldehyde condensate are typically used. The use of such superplasiticizers typically results in a reduction in the amount of water required in the concrete and an increase in the overall strength of same.
- What is the global concrete superplasticizer market size?
- The global concrete superplasticizer market size reached US$ 4.6 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 6.1 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.54% during 2023-2028.
- What are superplasticizer mixes?
- Superplasticizer Admixtures. Our Super plasticizer Admixtures is a white pigmented engineered emulsion based solid relieving compound. On drying, it frames a transitory film, which enables the solid to hold adequate water for ideal restoring.
- What is PCE superplasticizer?
- PCE superplasticizer belongs to polymer surfactants, so it can also be used in other paste-like materials, such as gypsum and ceramics, to reduce water content. PCE based admixture generally has a water reduction of more than 25% in concrete and has good compatibility with the base material.
