MasterGlenium 3030 | Master Builders Solutions - North America
MasterGlenium 3030 ready-to-use full-range water-reducing admixture is a patented new generation of superplasticizers based on polycarboxylate chemistry. MasterGlenium 3030 admixture is very effective in producing concretes with different levels of workability including applications that require the use of self-consolidating concrete (SCC).
Concrete Superplasticizer | Supercizer 1 | Fritz-Pak
A concrete superplasticizer offers a higher degree of water-reduction and slump enhancement than traditional water-reducers. But even superplasticizers are not all made the same. So when you need a high-range water reducer that won’t impact the set time or the air content of your mix, reach for a bag of Fritz-Pak’s Supercizer 1.
Types of Admixtures for Concrete - Concrete Network
This admixture can be added in a slurry or in a dry form, whichever meets the batching equipment needs. In either case, performance is the same. Strength Enhancement. Concrete strength enhancement can be achieved through use of superplasticizer admixtures to produce a low water/cement ratio giving high performance concrete.
Polycarboxylate Ether Superplasticizer (PCE) for Sale
The amount of polycarboxylate ether superplasticizer accounts for 0.80%-1.25% of the cementitious material. While the water reduction rate can be as high as 20% – 35%. It can reduce the water cementitious ratio when used with fly ash, so it is suitable for formulating high-performance concrete with high strength.
Use of Water Reducers, Retarders, and Superplasticizer
There are four types of superplasticizers: sulfonated melamine, sulfonated naphthalene, modified lignosulfonates and a combination of high dosages of water reducing and accelerating admixtures. Commonly used are melamine based and naphthalene based superplasticizers.
- 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.
- Is a superplasticizer a cure-all admixture?
- A superplasticizer is not a cure-all admixture; it has its own problems, which must be taken into account. Nonetheless, dramatic transformation of stiff concrete into flowing concrete by adding superplasticizer instead of water may be the most significant breakthrough in concrete technology since the development of air-entraining agents.
- How super are superplasticizers?
- Superplasticizers transform stiff, low-slump concrete into flowing, pourable, easily placed concrete. They can improve workability, speed finishing, increase strength, conserve cement and help reduce shrinkage and thermal cracking.
- Do superplasticizer admixtures affect optimum dosage?
- The development of new superplasticizers during the last decades has determined the most important progress in the field of concrete structures. Hence, an experimental investigation was conducted to determine the optimum dosage for the admixtures and to study the effect of over dosage of the mentioned admixtures.
- How to mix polycarboxylate superplasticizer?
- Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer must preferably be added in the mixing water and in case of ready-mix concrete where the product can be added on fresh concrete and in a mixing truck, it is necessary to mix at a high speed for about 6 – 8 minutes. Setting Time Deff.
- What is polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PC-P)?
- Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer (PC-P) is free-flowing and spray dried powder, affords excellent control over initial and final setting times. PC-P is a free flowing and spray dried powder of new generation polycarboxylate based polymer used as a superplasticizer for cement-based materials.
