Product Description & Applications
Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer (PCE) is a new generation of high-range water reducers that offer superior performance over traditional additives like naphthalene-based ones . Xinhui's PCE-A powder provides excellent dispersion of cement particles, leading to:
- High Water Reduction: Allows for significant reduction in water usage, resulting in higher concrete strength and durability.
- Excellent Slump Retention: Maintains the workability of concrete over a longer period, which is crucial for long-distance transportation and pumping .
- Low Shrinkage: Reduces the risk of cracking in hardened concrete.
- Environmental Friendliness: The production process is formaldehyde-free, making it a greener choice .
Typical Applications:
- Pre-cast and ready-mix concrete
- High-strength and high-performance concrete (HPC)
- Self-compacting concrete
- Mass concrete structures (dams, foundations)
- Projects requiring high durability and long service life (bridges, nuclear power plants)

Usage Guidelines
For optimal performance, it is recommended to conduct preliminary tests with your specific cement and mix design.
- Dosage: The typical dosage range is 0.5% to 1.5% by weight of cementitious materials (cement, fly ash, etc.). The recommended starting dosage is 1.0% .
- Mixing: Ensure uniform mixing with other dry ingredients before adding water. Prolonged mixing time is beneficial for even distribution.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Keep away from moisture and direct sunlight. The shelf life is typically 12 months.
