Concrete Superplasticizers are a type of admixture used in cement and concrete to increase the workability of the material. They are typically used in high-performance concrete applications, such as precast and ready-mix concrete, and are designed to reduce the amount of water needed to achieve the desired workability. Superplasticizers are typically added to the concrete mix in small amounts, usually between 0.1 and 0.5 percent by weight of cement. Superplasticizers are typically composed of polymers, such as polycarboxylates, polyacrylates, and lignosulfonates, which act as surfactants and reduce the surface tension of the water in the concrete mix. This allows the water to penetrate more deeply into the cement particles, resulting in a more homogeneous mix with improved workability. The Concrete Superplasticizer market is highly competitive, with a number of major players offering a range of products. Some of the leading companies in the market include BASF, Sika, Fosroc, Dow, and Grace. Show Less Read more
