Synthesis and Properties of a Polycarboxylate
Polycarboxylate superplasticizers (PCEs) are comb-shaped polymers with an anionic backbone and several nonionic pendant chains, which typically are comprised of polyethylene glycols. In this study, the synthesis of a new type of superplasticizer is presented, which does not exhibit the typical comb-shaped form of PCEs but is built up from a linear polyetheramine and a hyperbranched

Polycarboxylate superplasticizers are a fairly recent development in the concrete admixture industry. This unique blend of water-reducing chemicals provides substantially more benefits than previous superplasticizers.
Polycarboxylate Superplasticizers - Concrete Construction
The PCE superplasticizer replaced both the PNS/lignin and Type A water-reducing products at about one-third the dosage rate. Also, note the 50% drop in AEA dosage rate with the PCE admixed concrete to obtain the same air content.
The Effect of Various Superplasticizers on Ultra High
Ultra-High Strength Concrete (UHSC) is a high-strength and highly ductile material formulated to provide compressive strengths exceeding 130 MPa. UHSC materials typically have a very low water-to-cementitious ratio (w/cm), which requires the use of superplasticizers, also known as High Range Water Reducing Admixtures (HRWRA), to disperse the

for Concrete Admixture Formulations DEHSCOFIX WL660 Defoamers are crucial components in the formulation of polycarboxylate ether (PCE) superplasticizers. One side-effect of using a PCE superplasticizer is that they pull an excess of air into the concrete slurry.
- Do Polycarboxylate ether/ester superplasticizers affect concrete performance?
- Polycarboxylate ether/ester (PCE) superplasticizers are widely used due to their molecular structural designability, low dosage and high efficiency. However, their high sensitivity and strong interactions with clays in concrete reduce their dispersion and water-reduction capability, which can affect the performance of concrete seriously.
- Can polycarboxylate superplasticizer solve the problem of high viscosity?
- To solve the problem of high viscosity for fresh concrete especially high-grade concrete, a novel viscosity-reducing type of polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE) was synthesized based on innovative design of molecular structure, and also was characterized to confirm the designed molecular structure.
- What is polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE)?
- Polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE), an important type of concrete admixture, has been widely applied in various engineering projects, which greatly promotes the concrete technology and the building construction modernization.
- What is a polycarboxylate ether superplasticizer?
- The polycarboxylate ether superplasticizer is an additive commonly used in concrete engineering and has a wide range of applications. The PCE based admixture can significantly reduce the amount of cement and improve the fluidity and pumpability of concrete while ensuring the strength and durability of concrete.
- Can polycarboxylate based superplasticizer improve the crack resistance of concrete?
- The polycarboxylate based superplasticizer can improve the crack resistance of concrete. After adding an appropriate amount of water reducing agent in concrete, the internal structure of the concrete can be improved and the contraction and cracking of concrete can be reduced.
- What are the advantages of polycarboxylate superplasticizers?
- From an engineering perspective, Polycarboxylate Superplasticizers offer several critical advantages. Firstly, the significant reduction in water-cement ratio achieved by PCE contributes to higher early and ultimate strength in concrete.
