How to use polycarboxylate superplasticizer for different kinds of concrete?

According to data released by the International Nickel Research Organization (INSG), the global nickel market supply surplus widened to 20500 tons in June 2022, compared with a revised surplus of 19500 tons in May. From January to June 2022, the global nickel market had a surplus of 30800 tons, compared with a shortage of 125500 tons in the same period last year.

Indonesia's president says the world's largest nickel producer is likely to tax nickel exports this year with a view to keeping more refining work at home.

Italy's ANSA news agency recently quoted European Natural Gas inventory (AGSI+) data as saying that as of August 16, Italy's natural gas reserves reached 78.19% of the highest reserves, 151.26 terawatt hours (about 1.62 billion cubic meters), ranking second in the European Union after Germany.

According to reports, the Japanese iron company East Japan Iron Institute recently admitted that the company's Chiba Junjin iron plant detected excessive cyanide as early as February 2019, but concealed the data and discharged toxic substances into the river as many as 39 times. The Chiba prefecture government has launched an investigation into the matter.

Because of the turbulent international situation, the supply and prices of many international bulk pce powder are still very uncertain.

Prestressed or precast concrete

Adding polycarboxylate superplasticizer can make the compressive strength of precast concrete reach 40MPa grade at 8h to 18h; the precast concrete mixed with polycarboxylate superplasticizer can get higher early strength under the condition of lower curing temperature and shorter curing time, thus reducing the energy consumption of curing; in addition, it can save cement, reduce vibration energy consumption, reduce noise and improve the turnover rate of the mold.

Shrinkage compensating concrete

When preparing shrinkage compensating concrete, adding a certain amount of polycarboxylate superplasticizer can reduce the water-cement ratio, increase the early shrinkage of concrete and reduce the later shrinkage of concrete, thus saving expansive agent or expansive cement.

Ordinary aggregate concrete

For ordinary aggregate concrete, the addition of polycarboxylate superplasticizer can reduce the pumping pressure and pipe pressure by about 30%; for lightweight aggregate concrete, the addition of polycarboxylate superplasticizer can reduce the pumping pressure and pipe pressure by more than 10%; in addition, the addition of polycarboxylate superplasticizer can reduce the increase of pumping resistance with the increase of pumping speed.

Steel-fiber reinforced concrete

For steel fiber reinforced concrete, the addition of polycarboxylate superplasticizer can reduce the workability loss caused by the addition of steel fiber; of course, compared with the concrete without steel fiber, the amount of polycarboxylate superplasticizer mixed with steel fiber reinforced concrete should be appropriately increased.

Super high strength concrete

Polycarboxylate superplasticizer has good water-reducing dispersion and strengthening effect, so it can be used to prepare ultra-high strength concrete. The study found that the concrete mixed with polycarboxylate superplasticizer (20%), which accounts for 1% to 3% of the weight of the cementitious material, can make the 100-day-old strength as high as 150MPa.

High-alumina cement concrete

In order to ensure the performance of high-alumina cement concrete, the general water-cement ratio is not higher than 0.40 and the cement content is not lower than 400kg/m3, otherwise the strength of concrete, especially in the later stage, will decrease. The reason is that metastable calcium aluminate hydrate is transformed into steady tricalcium aluminate hydrate. If polycarboxylate superplasticizer is added to high alumina cement concrete, the fluidized concrete with good workability can be obtained under the condition of low water-cement ratio, and the later strength of concrete is not affected. That is to say, the 2d compressive strength of high alumina cement superplastic concrete mixed with polycarboxylate superplasticizer is lower than that of standard concrete, while the compressive strength of 180d age is basically the same as that of base concrete, because polycarboxylate superplasticizer has no obvious effect on the hydration rate of high alumina cement.

High-performance concrete with high content of active admixtures such as fly ash, slag, and silica fume

When preparing high-strength concrete with a large amount of fly ash instead of ordinary cement, adding polycarboxylate superplasticizer can improve workability, reduce mixing water consumption by about 20%, and further improve strength. The addition of polycarboxylate superplasticizer into concrete can increase the amount of cement-based substitute materials such as fly ash or slag and reduce the amount of cement without affecting the strength of concrete. therefore, it has outstanding environmental and economic benefits. Similarly, when silica fume is added to cement slurry or concrete, the amount of water needed to achieve the same workability increases with the increase of silica fume content. For this reason, under the condition of a certain amount of silica fume, polycarboxylate superplasticizer can be added to reduce the water consumption of mixing, and polycarboxylate superplasticizer can also be added to increase the amount of silica fume under the condition of a certain amount of water consumption.
