Basic Knowledge of Concrete Raw Materials – Admixtures(II)
Post Date: 20,Jun,2022 3. The mechanism of action of superplasticizers The mechanism of water reducing agent to improve the fluidity of concrete mixture mainly includes dispersing effect and lubricating effect. The water reducing agent is actually a surfactant, one end ...Read more -
Basic Knowledge of Concrete Raw Materials – Admixtures(I)
Post Date: 13,Jun,2022 Admixtures refer to a class of materials that can effectively improve one or more properties of concrete. Its content generally only accounts for less than 5% of the cement content, but it can significantly improve the workability, strength, durabi...Read more -
Performance of Concrete Admixture in Application
Post Date: 6,Jun,2022 At first, admixture was used only to save cement. With the development of construction technology, admixture has become the main measure to improve concrete performance. Thanks to superplasticizers, high-flow concrete, self-compacting concrete, high-strength concrete are use...Read more -
Some Problems In The Application Of Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer(IV)
Compatibility of polycarboxylate superplasticizer with other admixtures polycarboxylate superplasticizer and many superplasticizers cannot be mixed and compounded in any proportion like naphthalene and aliphatic superplasticizers. For example, the negative effect on plastic slump retention is th...Read more -
Some Problems In The Application Of Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer(III)
Dosage and water consumption of polycarboxylate superplasticizer: Polycarboxylate superplasticizer has the characteristics of low dosage and high water reduction. When the dosage is 0.15-0.3%, the water-reducing rate can reach 18-40%. However, when the water-to-binder ratio is small (below 0.4), ...Read more -
Some Problems In The Application Of Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer(II)
The influence of the mud content of sand on the polycarboxylate superplasticizer is often fatal, which is more obvious than the naphthalene series and aliphatic superplasticizers. When the mud content increases, the workability of conc...Read more -

Compatibility Of Admixtures With Other Raw Materials Of Concrete
Post Date: 26,Apr,2022 Effects of machine-made sand quality and admixture adaptability on concrete quality The mother rock and production technology of machine-made sand in different regions are very different. The water absorption rate of machine-made sand affects the slump loss of concrete to...Read more -
Handling Environmental Conditions When Placing Concrete Toppings(III)
Cold Weather Under cold weather conditions, emphasis is placed on preventing early age freezing and managing ambient temperatures during curing to promote strength development. Managing the base slab temperature during placement and curing of the topping slab may be the most challenging aspect re...Read more -
Concrete Admixtures: The “Heroes Behind” Engineering Projects
Concrete admixtures, referred to as admixtures for short, refer to substances added before or during concrete mixing to improve the properties of fresh concrete and/or hardened concrete. The characteristics of concrete admixtures are many varieties and small dosage, wh...Read more
