Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer (PC-P)

Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer

PC-P (Powder)

Description

PC-P is a free flowing and spray dried powder of new generation poly-carboxylate based polymer used as a superplasticizer for cement based materials. It is also an excellent dispersion plasticizer suitable for gypsum, ceramic, and other mineral materials.

PC-P is also a superplasticizer for high performance concrete, high strength concrete, high volume fly ash/slag concrete, and grouting/self-leveling screed/mortar. It complies with ASTM C 494, Type F specifications.

Special Features

Comparing to naphthalene and melamine based superplasticizers, PC-P has superior characteristics of

– High-efficient water reduction up to 30%

– Excellent stability, providing long working time

– Unique homogeneous plasticizing property, thus preventing segregation and bleeding

– Good disperser for various types of cement, gypsum and minerals.
