Anti-Segregation Admixtures are specialized chemical agents used in concrete to prevent the separation of coarse aggregates from the cement paste, ensuring a uniform and stable mix. Widely applied in ready-mix …
-
Hydration-Control Admixture is a type of chemical additive used in concrete to regulate the hydration process of cement. It slows down the chemical reaction between water and cement, which can …
-
Accelerating admixtures are chemical additives used in concrete to speed up the hydration process, enabling faster setting and early strength development. These admixtures are valuable in projects that require quick …

Viscosity modifying admixture (VMA) is a type of chemical additive used in concrete mixtures to alter their rheological properties. These admixtures are designed to enhance the durability of concrete by …
-
Admixtures are used in specialised concrete to enhance and modify its properties.These admixtures comprise a distinctive blend of chemical or mineral components that are incorporated into the concrete mixture to …
-
Admixture is added in concrete or mortar for increasing the rate of hydration of hydraulic cement and for shortening the setting time. Admixtures are added to the concrete batch immediately …
-
Retarding admixtures has little or no effect other than to delay the setting of the cement. They do not plasticize significantly and do not affect the water demand or other …
-
A chemical admixture can be added to concrete to achieve or modify its properties. Admixtures are added to the concrete, in addition to cement, water and aggregate, typically immediately before …
-
Shotcrete has been widely used in tunnel, underground, and marine works for providing early support and preventing water seepage. Key performance indicators of the shotcrete are setting time and strength, …
