Polycarboxylate ether (PCE) is a type of superplasticizer used in the production of high-performance concrete and dry mortar. This synthetic polymer is added to concrete and dry mortar mixes to improve their workability, reduce water content, and increase their strength and durability.
PCEs are highly efficient and have excellent compatibility with other additives, making them ideal for use in a wide range of concrete and dry mortar applications. They work by adsorbing onto the surface of cement particles, creating a steric hindrance effect that prevents the particles from aggregating. This improves the dispersion of cement particles in the mix, reducing the amount of water required to achieve the desired workability. The result is a more compact and dense concrete or dry mortar mix, which has improved strength, durability, and reduced permeability.
PCEs are commonly used in the production of ready-mix concrete, self-compacting concrete, and precast concrete, as well as in the production of dry mortars like self-leveller, flowing screeds and grouts. They are also used in the production of decorative concrete, which requires a high degree of workability and flowability.
