SikaPlast PC-10 | PCE based Super-plasticizers
SikaPlast PC-10 is a polycarboxylate based superplasticizer particularly formulated for the production of precast concrete elements, targeting its special demands regarding slump retention, very low water/binder ratios, use of double or triple blend mixes (cement, GGBFS, PFA and/or microsilica) and a high degree of compaction. Suitable for use in hot and tropical climatic conditions.
Sika ViscoCrete RM-800 | PCE based Super-plasticizers
Sika ViscoCrete RM-800 is a third generation, high performance, dual action superplasticizer, based on Sika’s own ViscoCrete technology, for the production of self-compacting concrete. Suitable for use in hot and tropical climatic conditions. High impermeability and strength due to extremely high water reduction.
Sika ViscoCrete-5100 AE | PCE based Super-plasticizers
Ultra-High Range Water-Reducing Admixture for Concrete Sika ViscoCrete-5100 AE is a polycarboxylate based superplasticizer developed particularly for use in ready mixed concrete to give extended slump retention and high strength development of high specification grade concrete mixes.
SikaPlast-850 | PCE based Super-plasticizers
SikaPlast-850 is a polycarboxylate based superplasticizer developed particularly for use in ready mixed concrete to give extended slump retention and high strength development of normal grade concrete mixes. SikaPlast-850 is suitable for use in concrete mixes incorporating pozzolanic materials such as GGBS, PFA and microsilica. Suitable for use in hot and tropical climatic
Delay Set Superplasticizer | Fritz-Pak | Concrete Admixtures
Fritz-Pak’s Supercizer 7 is not only a premium superplasticizer, it is a delay set superplasticizer. This powerful product offers the benefits of both a high-range water reducer and a set retarder. It is recommended for use in a variety of formwork, including ICF, to provide the correct flow and strength while also reducing the risk of cold
- 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.
- 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 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.
- What are the different types of superplasticizers?
- According to their dispersing functionality and action mode, one distinguishes two classes of superplasticizers: Steric effects: Polycarboxylates - ether (PCE) synthetic polymers bearing lateral chains (third generation).
- Are plasticizers lignosulphonates?
- Traditional plasticizers are lignosulphonates as their sodium salts. Super plasticizers are synthetic polymers. Compounds used as superplasticizers include (1) sulfonated naphthalene formaldehyde condensate, sulfonated melamine formaldehyde condensate, acetone formaldehyde condensate and (2) polycarboxylates ethers.
