Concrete Admixtures & Superplasticizers
Concrete admixtures and superplasticizers are essential construction chemicals designed to improve the workability, strength, durability, and performance of concrete. Concrete admixtures help modify concrete properties to meet specific construction requirements, while superplasticizers enhance flowability and reduce water demand without compromising strength. Suitable for ready-mix concrete, precast concrete, foundations, slabs, and large-scale infrastructure projects, these products support efficient concrete placement, improved compaction, and consistent construction quality.
Suitable for columns, beams, RCC slabs, and all concrete works where there is congestion of reinforcement.
Increases workability, compressive strength, and allows cement saving without loss of strength.

For ready mix, higher workability, precast, and fast track concrete.
Powerful water reduction, excellent plasticizing effect, increased early strength development, reduced shrinkage and creep.
0.3 – 1.5% by weight of cement (optimum dosage to be determined with trial mixes).
For producing higher grade concrete and high early strength concrete, especially for densely packed reinforcement, such as railway sleepers, girders, bridges, and flyovers.
Provides high workability and strength without increasing cement content. Does not affect setting time of concrete.

Suitable for self-compacting, ready mix, pumped, long distance transport, and piling concrete.
Provides retention property at very low water-cement ratio, increases compressive and flexural strength, lowers permeability, and improves durability.
0.6 – 1.5% by weight of cementitious material
Suitable for precast, pre-stressed, pavement, pumped, highway & ready mix concrete, large bay areas, and long-distance transportation.
Provides high early and final strength. Makes concrete mix flowable and pumpable, enabling early demoulding.

Self-compacting, ready mix, pumped, long distance transport, piling, and for precast concrete.
Provides high workability for longer periods, lower permeability, increased early and ultimate compressive strength, and high level fluidity eliminating the need for vibration to set. Reduces shrinkage and creep.
0.6 – 1.5% by weight of cement.
Ideal for all concrete requiring very high slump, flowability, and pumpability, including pre-stressed concrete.
Increases compressive strength, reduces water-cement ratio up to 15%, effectively retards setting time, and maintains slump for longer.
0.4 – 1.6% by weight of cement.
High strength and high performance concrete for attaining workability without segregation or bleeding, suitable for ready mix and precast concrete.
Increases early and ultimate strength, lowers permeability, increases durability, and provides excellent workability at optimum dosage.
0.3 – 1.5% by weight of cement (optimum dosage to be determined with trial mixes).
Ideal for concrete requiring high early set and strength at low temperatures, including cold weather concreting and quick demoulding.
Accelerates initial setting time, provides high early and ultimate strength, and reduces water-cement ratio.
0.1 – 3% by weight of cement (depending on required acceleration and strength).
Suitable for producing mass concrete for dams, bridges, reservoirs, etc.
Improves workability and cohesiveness, and allows cement reduction in mass concrete while maintaining compressive strength.
