Polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE) is a high-efficiency water reducer for concrete or cement. It improves the fluidity of concrete and improves the strength and durability of concrete.
Our company developed two types of Polycarboxylate superplasticizer flakes, that is FWD PC-201 & FWD PC-202.
FWD PC-201 flake is high water redusction type , FWD PC-202 flake is Slump-retention type. The PCE flake product have high performance water reducing admixture with excellent dispersion, and gives concrete good construction performance, significantly improves the mechanical properties and durability of the hardened concrete. and gives concrete good construction performance as well as excellent slump retention. It can effectively solve the problem of large slump loss of ready-mixed concrete under long distance transportation or high temperature condition.
Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer Flakes are typically used in the production of high-strength and high-performance concrete, which is often used in large-scale construction projects such as high-rise buildings, bridges, and tunnels. Some of the specific applications of Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer Flakes include:
Self-compacting concrete: Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer Flakes are an essential ingredient in the production of self-compacting concrete, which is highly flowable and takes the shape of any mold, without the need for vibration.
Precast concrete: Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer Flakes are used in the production of precast concrete components such as beams, slabs, and panels, which require high strength, durability, and uniformity.
Ready-mix concrete: Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer Flakes are added to ready-mix concrete to improve workability and reduce water content, enhancing the concrete’s strength and durability.
High-performance concrete: Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer Flakes are often used in high-performance concrete mixes that require higher strength, durability, and resistance to aggressive environments such as seawater, high temperatures, and chemical exposure.
Mass concrete: Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer Flakes are used in the production of mass concrete, which is used in large structures like dams, piers, and bridge abutments. Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer Flakes improve the mix’s consistency, making it easier to place and finish while reducing the risk of cracking due to the heat generated during the curing process.
Transportation engineering: such as roads, bridges, tunnels, high-speed railways, subways, etc.
Water conservancy projects: such as dams, hydropower stations, etc.
Construction projects: such as high-rise buildings, industrial and civil buildings, etc.
Ports and docks: construction of various port facilities and docks.
Nuclear power engineering: construction of large nuclear facilities such as nuclear power plants.
Overall, polycarboxylate superplasticizer flake is a versatile and essential admixture in high-performance concrete production, helping manufacturers produce durable, strong concrete while improving workability and reducing environmental impact.
