Results for tag: "Water Reducing Admixture"

Water Reducing Admixtures (WRAs) are chemical compounds used in cement and concrete to reduce the amount of water needed for mixing and to improve the workability of the concrete. WRAs are used to reduce the water-cement ratio, which increases the strength and durability of the concrete. WRAs also reduce the amount of cement needed, which can reduce the cost of the concrete. WRAs can also reduce the amount of shrinkage and cracking that can occur in concrete. WRAs are used in a variety of applications, including foundations, walls, floors, and pavements. WRAs are available in a variety of forms, including liquid, powder, and granular. WRAs are typically added to the concrete mix at the time of batching. WRAs are also used in pre-mixed concrete, where they are added to the concrete mix at the plant. Some companies in the Water Reducing Admixture market include BASF, Sika, Fosroc, GCP Applied Technologies, and Grace Construction Products. Show Less Read more
