Plasticizers the admixture for the concrete block industry
We are pioneers in the development of plasticizers for earth-moist concrete for the production of high-quality directly demolded concrete block products in fully automatic production installations using the vibro-compaction and pressing process. we would be happy to help you select the right product for your individual application.

Admixtures and additives for concrete - PCC Group
Concrete additives – microsilica. Concrete additives include fine grained and inorganic additives. Their introduction to the mix is intended to enhance the properties of the concrete or to obtain new ones. Additives can be divided into two types. First there are filler aggregates, and then also pigments.
Plasticizing of concrete | ISOMAT
Extreme or difficult concreting applications, because of their position, shape, or dense reinforcement of structural elements, cases of exposed concrete etc., which are usually found in modern constructions, require plasticizing of concrete without adding additional water, which reduces its strength.
Plasticizer
Plasticizers are also often used when pozzolanic ash is added to concrete to improve strength. This method of mix proportioning is especially popular when producing high-strength concrete and fiber-reinforced concrete. Adding 1-2% plasticizer per unit weight of cement is usually sufficient.
Superplasticizer
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. These additives are employed at the level of a few weight percent. Plasticizers and superplasticizers retard the curing of concrete. [1]
- 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 concrete superplasticizers & plasticizers?
- Our concrete superplasticizers and plasticizers for the production of quality concrete, ready-mixed/construction site concrete and precast parts made of reinforced and prestressed concrete. Quality and profitability with concrete superplasticizers and concrete plasticizers from Rhein-Chemotechnik GmbH.
- What are alphalith® concrete superplasticizers & plasticizers?
- ALPHALITH® concrete superplasticizers and plasticizers allow for the production of cost-optimized top-quality concrete in all consistency, strength and exposure classes.
- What is the difference between a plasticizer and a superplasticizer?
- Plasticizers are chemical compounds enabling the production of concrete with approximately 15% less water content. Superplasticizers allow reduction in water content by 30% or more. These additives are employed at the level of a few weight percent. Plasticizers and superplasticizers also retard the setting and hardening of concrete.
- What is a hydrophilic plasticizer?
- The primary purpose of hydrophilic plasticizers is to improve the concrete’s plastic and flow properties, as evidenced by their increased wet ability. This plasticizer makes a lot of air get into the concrete mix. It is possible to lower the tension of the water in the solution and make the concrete more flexible.
- 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).
