Water-Reducing Admixture Construction Chemical Additives For Gypsum Based Mortars
A water-reducing admixture (also known as a water reducer or plasticizer) is a chemical additive used in concrete and other cementitious materials to reduce the amount of water required to achieve a desired consistency or workability. It is typically added to the mix during the batching process.
It's important to note that while water-reducing admixtures improve workability and reduce the water content, they do not significantly affect the setting time or overall strength development of concrete.
Water-Reducing Admixture is typically used in combination with other admixtures, such as air-entraining agents or set retarders, to achieve the desired properties for a specific application.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Water-Reducing Admixture |
| Chemical Composition | The type of chemical compound used in the admixture formulation |
| Water Reduction | The percentage reduction in water content achieved by the admixture |
| Setting Time Control | Any effects of the admixture on the initial and final setting times |
Air entrainment: Some water-reducing admixtures may also have air-entraining properties, which introduce tiny air bubbles into the concrete. Water-reducing admixtures can improve freeze-thaw resistance, workability, and durability of the concrete.
Chemical composition: Water-reducing admixtures can be based on various chemical compositions, such as lignosulfonates or polycarboxylates. Different compositions offer different performance characteristics and may be more suitable for specific applications or concrete mix designs.
