Concrete Plasticizers, Cement & Plastic Fillers | USG
Cement & Plastic Fillers. Builders and project managers count on USG’s selection of concrete plasticizers and cement plasticizers to strengthen their structures. Our concrete plasticizer products reduce the water/cement ratio to achieve better results. View our plasticizer admixture for concrete and other offerings below.
Chemical Admixtures - Cement
Superplasticizers, also known as plasticizers or high-range water reducers (HRWR), reduce water content by 12 to 30 percent and can be added to concrete with a low-to-normal slump and water-cement ratio to make high-slump flowing concrete.

Master Builders Solutions concrete admixtures – enabling
Fairfaced concrete is as popular as ever and remains in high demand for interior finishing and facade design. Visually attractive surfaces require superior concrete quality. This is where Master Builders Solutions concrete admixtures come in: They ensure void-free, smooth and sharp-edged concrete surfaces that meet the highest requirements on esthetics and design and, at the same time
- What is a plasticizer in concrete?
- and more resistant to cold. A plasticizer is an additive used in concrete to improve its workability, performance, and durability. Plasticizers are typically added to concrete mixes to make pouring, shaping, and finishing easier. They can also help to increase the strength and reduce the permeability of the hardened concrete.
- What are plasticizers & water reducers?
- Plasticizers and water reducers are chemical admixtures used to make concrete more workable. Unless the mixture is “starved” of water, increasing the w/c ratio reduces the concrete’s strength. An increase in durability is achieved by decreasing the water content (without “starving” the concrete).
- How do plasticizers and water reducers affect concrete strength?
- Since the heat of hydration of mass concrete goes down when the cement weight goes down, plasticizers can do this. Plasticizers and water reducers are chemical admixtures used to make concrete more workable. Unless the mixture is “starved” of water, increasing the w/c ratio reduces the concrete’s strength.
- Does USG offer concrete plasticizers?
- Builders and project managers count on USG’s selection of concrete plasticizers and cement plasticizers to strengthen their structures. Our concrete plasticizer products reduce the water/cement ratio to achieve better results. View our plasticizer admixture for concrete and other offerings below.
- What are concrete additives?
- Concrete additives are materials added to the concrete mix to modify its properties and improve its performance for specific applications. From enhancing strength and durability to improving workability and setting time, additives play a crucial role in modern construction.
- What are the benefits of using plasticizers on concrete?
- Enhanced Strength: Certain additives, such as silica fume, significantly increase the compressive strength of concrete, making it suitable for high-performance applications. Better Workability: Plasticizers and other workability enhancers make it easier to mix, transport, and place concrete, reducing labor costs and improving finish quality.
