Superplasticizer
Superplasticizer. Superplasticizers ( SPs ), also known as high range water reducers, are additives used in making high strength concrete. 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.
Superplasticizers
High-level water reduction products can be used in high strength concrete, pumpability, self-consolidating concrete, low permeability, low water absorption concrete and low shrinkage application.
Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer (PCE) For Concrete
Besides, it can be completely water easily. The water reduction efficiency of PCE concrete admixture can be up to 25%. It is mainly used in the ready-mixed and precast concrete industries where the highest durability and performance is required. 3. High Slump Retention. PCE-High Slump Retention is a new generation superplasticizer for concrete.
Concrete Water Reducer - Superplasticizers
7. Since the dosage of polycarboxylic acid superplasticizer is very small, the water reduction rate is high. The use of polycarboxylic acid superplasticizers to prepare various types of high-performance concretes above C45 can greatly reduce project costs and has significant technical and economic benefits; it is used to prepare concrete below C45, although the cost of polycarboxylic acid
The percentage of superplasticizer and water cement ratio
For high performance concrete water cement ratio should be in the range of 0.3-0.35 or less and superplasticizer needed is about 2% Cite 9th Jan, 2025 Terry Vines SGS TEC Services Your...
