  • What is nitcal concrete admixture?
  • Our multifunctional concrete admixture provides setting acceleration, supports cold weather concreting and brings counteraction of retardation from plasticizers. Used in conjunction with a super plasticizer, NitCal optimizes the use of water and cement, whilst accelerating setting time.
  • Who makes admixtures for concrete?
  • MAPEI has been manufacturing admixtures in North America since 2014 and now, thanks to constant technological innovation, MAPEI’s Admixtures for Concrete line offers solutions for the most varied range of construction needs — from large-scale commercial to residential building projects.
  • What types of plasticizers can be used in concrete?
  • Several types of plasticizers can be used in concrete, including water-reducing plasticizers, superplasticizers, and retarding plasticizers. Water-reducing plasticizers reduce the amount of water needed in the concrete mix, while superplasticizers can increase the workability of the concrete without increasing the water content.
  • How do Plasticizers make concrete stronger and last longer?
  • Plasticizers make concrete stronger and last longer by reducing the amount of water and cement needed to reach a certain level of workability. Since the heat of hydration of mass concrete goes down when the cement weight goes down, plasticizers can do this. Plasticizers and water reducers are chemical admixtures used to make concrete more workable.
  • 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.
  • How do plasticizers and water reducers affect concrete strength?
  • Since the heat of hydration of mass concrete goes down when the cement weight goes down, plasticizers can do this. 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.
