important as plasticizer for coatings and cellulose moulding compounds. All the figures quoted are intended solely as a guide and are not binding for the properties of the products that we place on the market. The definitive product specifications for our plasticizers are published in the “Technical Information” for the individual products.
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.
EFFECT OF DIFFERENT PERCENTAGE OF PLASTICIZERS ON
This paper has been made an attempt to study the effect of plasticizer doses of 0.25, 0.30 and 0.35 percentage (by weight of cement) on performance of M15 concrete grade. The tests considered...
Superplasticizers for High Performance Concrete - Rice Husk Ash
slump with respect to tie. Therefore new generation super plasticizers which do not retard the concrete, while still retaining higher slumps over a period of time, become the major ingredient in formulation of High Performance Concrete and Self Compacting Concrete. The action of Super Plasticizers was previously attributed to reduction of surface
STUDY OF CONCRETE WITH VARIOUS TYPES OF PLASTICIZERS AND
Practical value of common concrete water-cement ratio moves within 0.35 to 0.60 depending on type and effect of added plasticizers or superplasticizers and required consistency of fresh concrete. Low water-cement ratios that may get under 0.25 is use namely with new modern types of concrete like RPC
- What is concrete plasticizer?
- Concrete plasticizers are added in concrete in amount of 0.1 % to 0.4 % by weight of cement. Addition of these doses reduces 5 to 15% of water requirement in the concrete mix with constant workability. The strength of concrete is a major function of water cement ratio.
- Do plasticizers increase concrete strength?
- The concrete strength is inversely proportional to the w/c (water-cement ratio). But a certain amount of water has to be provided to ensure the complete hydration of cement and proper workability of concrete. What plasticizers do, us that they reduce this certain required amount. Hence, strength increases.
- Do plasticizers increase mechanical strength?
- Plasticizers are used as reducers to reduce the water content to improve the physical properties of concrete. From which it was possible to demonstrate very favorable results from water reducers (plasticizers) that increase mechanical strength when these additives are used in sufficient proportion.
- Why is plasticizer important?
- Because plasticizer is such an essential compound, the addition of which can provide better condition of quality and stability of concrete. achieve safer and more sustainable buildings. It is a process in which concrete plays an important role due to its own characteristics. It should also be noted that cracks and crevices in concrete are present.
- How to choose a plasticizer?
- When selecting a plasticizer, it is important to take into account other parameters that affect compressive strength, such as the ability to maintain plasticity without breaking during setting, the development of early strength, a greater or lesser adhesive effect, and the material quality and so on.
- Does water management affect the production of concrete mix?
- In previous results, water management is present as a major factor in the production of concrete mix, as it is a variable that affects its characteristics in the fresh and hardened states ; In the fresh state it positively or negatively affects its transport and location, and in the solid state it affects its stability over time.
