Concrete- as the world’s most widely been used construction material, the quality, performance and sustainability of concrete are extremely important. Concrete admixtures, (which also been called concrete addtives) plays an important role in helping concrete to realize high performance, long-lasting, durable and suitable for various constuction situation. Concrete admixtures are manufactured chemicals or additives added during concrete mixing to enhance specific properties of the fresh or hardened concrete.

Under the same cement dosage and same slump conditions, the strength of concrete can be increased by 40%-70% in three days, increased strength by 30%-60% in seven days and increased strength by 25%-50% in 28 days.
3. Low slump loss, suitable for long-distance transportation of commercial concrete.
4. Largely improved water retention, cohesiveness, no layering & no segregation.
5. The retarding effect at the beginning, will reduce the early hydration heat release rate of concrete, which is conducive to the pouring of mass concrete.
6. The compressive strength, flexural strength, tensile strength, admixture resistance and durability of concrete have been significantly improved.
Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer-Slump-Preserving Type:
Polycarboxylate superplasticizer (slump-preserving type):
Features: Under the alkaline condition of concrete, the reactive gene in the molecular structure of this product can slowly release the gene with dispersing effect, which plays the role of continuing to disperse the cement, thereby achieving the effect of inhibiting the slump loss of concrete.
Usage Method:
1. Water reducers with different slump retention effects can be compounded with mother liquor as required.
2. The usual dosage is 0.6%-1.2%.
3. It is suitable for compounding use of high water reducing polyslump carboxylic acid water reducing agent.
