Technical optimization and life cycle assessment of environment
Accordingly, our technical optimization means that the environment-friendly solid-state superplasticizer that was prepared in an energy-saving manner performs well in terms of rheological performance and retention in fresh concrete, even in practical concrete engineering, and is therefore a promising superplasticizer material with good application potential.
Bio-based admixtures - Sika
This eco-friendly innovation is in line with one of Sika's stated corporate goals of sustainable product development. RENEWABLE VEGETABLE SUBSTANCES IN PLACE OF OIL-BASED RAW MATERIALS The key components of standard concrete admixtures are polymeric components chemically produced from oil-based raw materials.
Technical optimization and life cycle assessment of environment
Introduction. Polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE), when applied in cement-based materials such as cement paste, mortar and concrete, can significantly improve the workability, strength and durability of the material (Zheng et al., 2025) by dispersing agglomerated cement particles (Zhang et al., 2025).
Development of chemical admixtures for green and environmentally
This is the first systematic review of the preparation of concrete admixtures from all types of biomass resources, providing theoretical guidance for researchers and technicians with friendly coordination of performance-environmental benefits and further technical support for the sustainable design of green and environmentally friendly concrete. 2.

Developing Eco-Friendly Admixtures for Concrete Pursuing surfactants science through the development of eco friendly chemicals for civil engineering and construction use Concrete is an essential material for building social infrastructure such as skyscrapers, highways, and bridges.
- Are chemical admixtures suitable for green and environmentally friendly concrete?
- Future perspectives The development of chemical admixtures for green and environmentally friendly concrete from biomass is an emerging subject that is gaining wide attentions worldwide.
- Is solid-state polycarboxylate superplasticizer better than liquid-state PCE?
- Herein a novel solid-state polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE) with low energy-consumption was designed and synthesized. In industrial application, solid-state PCE has exhibited better cement paste fluidity and concrete slump compared to liquid-state PCE.
- Are concrete admixtures sustainable?
- Cement additives and concrete admixtures have become an integral component in today's best-in-class sustainable concrete systems. However, on-going research and development efforts are required to achieve more ambitious sustainability targets.
- What percentage of admixtures are superplasticizers?
- The China Building Material Federation reported that in 2013, about 75% of the admixtures produced in China were superplasticizers. The production distribution of admixtures made in China is depicted in Fig. 1. Fig. 1. 2013 distribution of admixture production in China reported by the China Building Material Federation.
- Can superplasticizers be used in concrete engineering?
- To further examine the application of the technically optimized superplasticizers in concrete engineering, production of the solid-state superplasticizer was carried out on different scales by applying the superplasticizers in the construction of a railway passenger dedicated line (PDL) that runs from Zhengzhou city to Xuzhou city in China.
- What is polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE)?
- 1. Introduction Polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE), when applied in cement-based materials such as cement paste, mortar and concrete, can significantly improve the workability, strength and durability of the material ( Zheng et al., 2019) by dispersing agglomerated cement particles ( Zhang et al., 2020 ).
