Protizerr™ Superplasticizer is also known as the polycarboxylate superplasticizer, high-range water reducer, and water reducing agent. Protizerr™ Superplasticizer is a powder form superplasticizer made by spray-drying of modified polycarboxylate superplasticizer, is a kind of environmentally friendly high-performance product. Protizerr™ Superplasticizer has good dispersion ability, fast plasticization speed, excellent plasticizing effect, and good strengthening performance and offers a high water reduction rate.
Advantages
- High water reduction rate
- Provide excellent plasticity
- Impart high liquifying effect
- Improved shrinkage and creep behavior
- Improved strength and density
Importance
Superplasticizers are additions that allow a given degree of workability to be obtained at a reduced water/cement ratio. The ratio may be reduced by up to 20% in the presence of, for example, sulfonated naphthalene formaldehyde condensate, which is absorbed in the solid/liquid interface. They have the effect of neutralizing the surface attractions between individual particles of the cement, causing them to form a less open structure, which therefore requires less water to fill spaces and provide fluidity to the paste. By decreasing the water/cement ratio in this way, superplasticizers act to increase the strength of the cement product.
