Polycarboxylate Ether (PCE) is a third-generation high-performance concrete hyperplasticizer designed to enhance cement dispersion and improve concrete performance. It is an opaque brown liquid polymer that disperses cement particles and fillers through electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance, resulting in highly workable, flowable concrete with significantly reduced water demand.
This advanced admixture enables up to 40% water reduction while maintaining excellent workability, allowing for the production of concrete with high early and ultimate strength, minimal voids, and optimal density.
Key Benefits-
Provides superior water reduction in concrete with high cement and filler content.
-
Produces high-workability concrete without segregation or bleeding.
-
Enhances durability and resistance to carbonation and aggressive atmospheric conditions.
-
Reduces shrinkage and creep, improving surface finish and overall density.
-
Suitable for concrete containing supplementary cementitious materials such as fly ash, slag, and microsilica.
-
High early strength concrete
-
Self-compacting concrete (SCC)
-
Ready-mix and precast concrete
-
High-durability and high-performance concrete structures
