  • Does USG offer concrete plasticizers?
  • Builders and project managers count on USG’s selection of concrete plasticizers and cement plasticizers to strengthen their structures. Our concrete plasticizer products reduce the water/cement ratio to achieve better results. View our plasticizer admixture for concrete and other offerings below.
  • 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.
  • 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 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).
  • What are concrete admixtures?
  • Concrete admixtures are essential components used to enhance the properties of concrete mixes. This guide provides valuable insights into various types of concrete admixtures, their characteristics, European standards and applications. Concrete admixtures are liquids or powders which are added to the concrete during mixing in small quantities.
  • 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.
