Concrete Admixture ASTM C494 Type F PCE Superplasticizer
Polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE) is the 3rd generation superplasticizer. It is widely used in ready-mix, precast, self-compacting, high strength concrete and etc. It has mainly two types, high range water reducing type and high slump retention type, which are usually blended together in different ratio to get optimized perfermance in different concrete formulations.
Advantages:
High strength due to extremely high water reduction
Excellent flowability
Enhanced workability
Improved shrinkage and crack resistance
Very high cost-performance ratio
No chlorides
