What are concrete admixtures? and their types by Redwop Chemicals

Concrete, the single most widely-used building material in the world, has a history dating back to the Romans and ancient Egyptians. Given that concrete is used twice as much in construction as all other building materials, emphasis on quality, performance, and sustainability is essential for the industry to grow and thrive.

One of the most important ingredients in high-performance, long-lasting, durable, and beautiful concrete produced today is concrete admixtures. Concrete admixtures are natural or manufactured chemicals or additives added during concrete mixing to enhance specific properties of the fresh or hardened concrete, such as workability, durability, or early and final strength.

Types:

Redwop prides itself on being an established concrete admixtures manufacturer and supplier in Gujarat, India. We render a whole host of concrete admixtures that are indispensable to civil engineering and construction projects.

Water Reducer:

As the name suggests, water reducers are concrete admixtures that reduce the need for water in concrete by about 5 percent. At Redwop, we offer top-grade water reducer admixtures that offer stability over a wide temperature range. Besides, they also improve the workability and finish of the concrete. Since the need for water content is reduced by adding water-reducing admixtures, there is a drop in the water-cement ratio as well.

Superplasticizer

Super-plasticizers are an integral part of civil construction and engineering. They are deemed indispensable to various construction applications as they enhance the flowability of concrete. These crucial concrete admixtures are additions that facilitate a certain amount of workability at a particular water-cement ratio. They are used to improve the fluidity of concrete without having to add excess water. Superplasticizers are also known as high-range water reducers. Redwop is a premium super-plasticizer supplier India has a repute for offering top-drawer super-plasticizers to its worldwide clientele at competitive prices.

Concrete Retarder

Redwop is an established retarder manufacturer offering concrete retarders at competitive prices. These concrete admixtures are used to delay the initial setting time for as many as 60 minutes. Concrete retarders are aimed at allowing the time for mixing, transportation and application by preventing quick hardening in high-temperature conditions.

Self Compactness Concrete

Self-compactness or self-compacting concrete facilitates denser reinforcement and renders a plethora of benefits including durability and optimized concrete shapes and sizes. Profusely used in the construction of bridges, earth retaining structures, and drilled shafts. By making optimum use of self-compacting concrete admixtures, you can achieve a smooth surface with phenomenal constructability and a uniform finish. Self-compacting concrete is immensely fluid. As a result, they can self-level and help meet the construction standards modern structures have to adhere to.

Air Entrainment

Air-entrained concrete admixtures increase the freeze-thaw durability of concrete whilst improving workability by a significant margin. As you may know, air entrainment causes the concrete to become bleak. Even 1 percent of the air in concrete is enough to reduce 28 days of compressive strength which is a reduction of almost 5 percent. This is where air-entrained concrete admixtures come into the picture. They enhance scaling resistance and prolong service life quite significantly.

Corrosion Inhibiting Admixture

Corrosion inhibiting concrete admixtures reduce the corrosion rate or extend the corrosion initiation time. Redwop offers premium-grade corrosion inhibiting admixtures that increase the passivation state of steel structures in concrete. These admixtures are essentially effective in prolonging the life of concrete structures used in the construction of Highways, Wharves, Multi-level car parking, and Sea walls.
