Our Admixtures:
- Water Reducing Admixture:
- Also known as plasticizers or water reducers.
- Purpose: Reduce the water content needed for a given workability, improving concrete strength and durability.
- Effect: Enhances workability while maintaining or increasing strength.
- Example: G7040, a high-range water-reducing and retarding admixture.
- Retarders Admixture:
- Purpose: Delays the setting time of concrete.
- Use case: When extended workability is required, especially in hot weather.
- Effect: Allows more time for placement and finishing.
- Accelerators Admixture:
- Purpose: Speeds up the curing time of concrete.
- Use case: Cold weather conditions or when rapid strength gain is necessary.
- Effect: Accelerates early strength development.
- Superplasticizers:
- Purpose: Achieve high workability without increasing water content.
- Effect: Improves flowability and reduces segregation.
- Corrosion-Inhibiting Admixture:
- Purpose: Protects against corrosion of reinforcing steel.
- Effect: Increases durability and extends the service life of concrete structures.
- Air Entrainment Admixture:
- Purpose: Introduces tiny air bubbles to improve freeze-thaw resistance.
- Effect: Enhances durability in harsh climates.
- Waterproofing Admixture:
- Purpose: Provides resistance to moisture penetration.
- Use case: Basements, swimming pools, and other water-exposed structures.
- Effect: Keeps water out, preventing damage.
- Mortar and Block Admixture:
- Purpose: Specifically designed for mortar and block applications.
- Effect: Enhances workability and bond strength.
- Powder Admixture:
- Description: This category is quite broad and can include various additives.
- Use case: Depends on the specific powder admixture.
- Fibers:
- Purpose: Reinforce concrete and improve its toughness.
- Effect: Enhances crack resistance and impact strength.
Remember that these admixtures are carefully selected based on the project requirements and environmental conditions. Each type serves a specific purpose, contributing to better concrete performance. If you need more detailed information about any specific admixture, feel free to ask!
