Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer
Traditional plasticizers are lignosulphonates as their sodium salt. Superplasticizers are synthetic polymers. Compounds used as superplasticizers include sulfonated naphthalene formaldehyde condensate, sulfonated melamine formaldehyde condensate, acetone formaldehyde condensate and polycarboxylate ethers. Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer is used as a high range water reducing admixture in high performance concrete, high strength concrete, high volume fly ash/slag concrete, cement grouting, and dry mortar. They allow a water reduction up to 40% even with low dosage.
What is polycarboxylate superplasticizer used for?
Polycarboxylate superplasticizer is mainly used to prepare concrete with low water-cement ratio, high strength, self-compacting and high durability. It is the main development direction of high performance concrete water reducer.
What is polycarboxylate admixture?
PCE (polycarboxylate-based admixture) is the latest generation of high-performance admixture used to improve the properties of concrete. It is a type of concrete admixture known as high-range water-reducing admixtures or superplasticizers. It is composed of an aqueous copolymer of carboxylic acids.
What are the different types of polycarboxylate superplasticizers?
Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer (PCE) For Concrete have three different types of polycarboxylate superplasticizers for you, they are PCE powder, PCE (High Water Reduction) liquid, PCE (High Slump Retention) liquid.
