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.
Real-world impact of admixtures on sustainability | GCP
May 18, 2025. by GCP Applied Technologies. concrete / admixture / sustainability. Concrete admixtures can be used to reduce cement content, permit greater use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), and even increase resistance to the environment to extend the lifespan of structures. Admixtures also have the potential to effect a
Effect of SNF-Based Superplasticizer on Physical
Superplasticizers used for reducing the water content from the mix design of the concrete, reduction in water content enlarges the strength of the concrete. GPC is an innovative, eco-friendly, cementless and durable concrete in which cement content replace by the pozzolanic content that is full of silica and alumina mineral constituent.
Arrowroot as bio-admixture for performance enhancement
Arrowroot has a polymer structure as most of the chemical admixtures and it showed considerable effects on the setting time of cement, workability and durability of concrete. Unlike chemical admixtures, it has no consequent degrading effect on the environment. In this study arrowroot was added by 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2.5% to cement weight.
- 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.
- 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.
- Can a solid-state superplasticizer improve slump retention in concrete?
- Replacing the superplasticizer to the solid-state superplasticizers, synthesized in this study, resulted in an improved slump retention in the concrete. This effect can be observed for each solid-state superplasticizer on each different scale of production ( Fig. 3 (e)) and, importantly, allows meeting the requirements of concrete engineering.
- What is concrete superplasticizer based on lignite graft copolymers?
- A novel kind of concrete superplasticizer based on lignite graft copolymers Cement Concr. Res., 79 ( 2016), pp. 123 - 130 New amphoteric flocculant containing β-cyclodextrin, synthesis, characterization and decolorization properties
- 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.
- Do lignosulfonate superplasticizers reduce water in concrete?
- Lignosulfonate superplasticizers with different molecular weights show different degrees of water-reducing effect in concrete (Quyang et al., 2006).
