Experimental Investigation on PCE and SNF Type Admixture on
Optimum dosage of super plasticizer improves the workability of concrete without adding excess water. At a dosage of 0.5% of SNF super plasticizer (Sikament 2002 NS) and 25% water reduction, maximum strength achieved. At 0.6% of PCE super plasticizer (C Flow 175 M) and 25% water reduction all the strength parameters reached peak value.
SikaPlast-400 | PCE based Super-plasticizers
Mid-Range Superplasticizing water reducing and retarding concrete admixture. SikaPlast-400 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-400 is suitable for use in concrete mixes
Chemical Admixtures - Cement
There are five distinct classes of chemical admixtures: air-entraining, water-reducing, retarding, accelerating, and plasticizers (superplasticizers). All other varieties of admixtures fall into the specialty category whose functions include corrosion inhibition, shrinkage reduction, alkali-silica reactivity reduction, workability enhancement, bonding, damp proofing, and coloring.
Experimental Investigation on PCE and SNF Type Admixture
Super plasticizers are chemical admixtures used where well-dispersed particle suspension is required. Its application in concrete facilitates the reduction of the water with respect to the...
SUPER PLASTICIZERS
Description: (ASTM C494 Types F, AJTM C1017 TYPE I, IS 9103:1999) KEM SUPLAST PCE 100 is an admixture of a new generation based on modified polycarboxylic ether. The product has been primarily developed for applications in high performance concrete where the highest durability and performance is required. KEM SUPLAST PCE 100 is free of chloride
