Superplasticizer
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. These additives are employed at the level of a few weight percent. Plasticizers and superplasticizers retard the curing of concrete. [1]

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.

Super Plasticizers: Classification and Uses | Concrete Technology
Super plasticizers are also used for the production of high strength and high performance concrete. With the use of super plasticizers, flowing concrete could be produced with the water/cement ratio as low as 0.25 or even less. The strength of such concrete was found 120 MPa (1200 kg/cm 2) or more.
- 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.
- Does superplasticizer -poly carboxylate ether in cement composites increase strength?
- Our paper reports the addition of high performing superplasticizer -Poly Carboxylate Ether in cement composites as per Indian Standards has resulted in a denser cementitious matrix and higher strength gain at longer terms compared to normal superplasticizers. 1. Introduction
- 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.
- What is a superplasticizer in cement mix?
- Superplasticizers (SP) are one of the most important constituents of cement cementitious mix mixes. It makes cementitious mix flowable at a low water-cement ratio without segregation and bleeding as required for high-performance concrete .
- Does polycarboxylates based super plasticizer influence the properties of HPC?
- In the given study, the influence of the polycarboxylates based super plasticizer (SP) (high-range water reducer) at different dosages to the properties of HPC was investigated. SP in concrete mixtures was added with ratios of 1.0%, 1.5%, and 2.5% by weight of cement. The samples characteristics of produced concrete were compared with each other.
- What is polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE)?
- Polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE), the third generation of high-performance superplasticizer, follows the development of ordinary plasticizers and superplasticizers. It significantly reduces water content while enhancing concrete's workability, strength, and durability.
