  • Are plasticizers water reducing admixtures?
  • Conventional Plasticizers: These plasticizers, also known as water-reducing admixtures, are based on organic polymers like lignosulfonates or naphthalene sulfonates. They effectively reduce water content and improve workability.
  • What are water reducing and set-retarding admixtures?
  • Water-reducing and set-retarding admixtures are chemicals that slow down the initial reaction between cement and water by reducing the rate of water penetration to the cement and slowing down the growth of the hydration products. As a result, concrete stays workable longer than it would otherwise.
  • What are concrete plasticizers?
  • Concrete plasticizers, also known as water-reducing admixtures or superplasticizers, are chemical additives that play a crucial role in enhancing the workability and properties of concrete. By reducing the required water content for a given workability level, plasticizers offer numerous benefits, including:
  • What is the dosage rate of concrete plasticizer & water reducing agent?
  • The dosage rate can be increased to 0.60 % to overcome difficulties in quality of cement and aggregates, high temperature and difficult placing conditions. A liquid concrete plasticizer and water reducing agent with set retarding effect.
  • Can Plasticizers improve concrete strength?
  • Despite reducing water content, plasticizers can actually enhance concrete strength. This is because they improve the dispersion of cement particles and the compaction of concrete, leading to a denser and more cohesive microstructure.
  • What is a retarder admixture?
  • The use of this admixture is defined in ASTM C494. There are two kinds of retarders, defined as Type B (Retarding Admixtures) and Type D (Water Reducing and Retarding Admixtures). The main difference between these two is the water-reducing characteristic in Type D that gives higher compressive strengths by lowering w/cm ratio.
