Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer Powder

100% solids · Dry pre-blending · Easy long-haul shipping

Polycarboxylate Superplasticizers (PCE) Powder Dosage: 0.16% – 0.30% by weight of binder

Overview

Powder PCE is produced by spray-drying the liquid mother liquor. It retains the dispersing performance of the liquid while providing the flowability and storage stability a dry-mix system requires — and it ships far more economically over long distances.

Key benefits

  • 100% solids: low freight cost, no liquid freight capacity consumed
  • Blends uniformly with cement and fillers without caking (under dry conditions)
  • Suitable for dry-mix lines where liquid admixtures cannot be used
  • Dissolves rapidly and becomes effective immediately on mixing with water

Application notes

Pre-blend thoroughly with other dry components to avoid local concentration. Store in a dry, ventilated place and use promptly after opening. Moisture caking does not affect performance but will affect dispersion uniformity.

Typical uses

Dry-mix mortar, self-levelling compounds, grouts, duct grouting, repair mortars and refractories.

  • Dry-mix mortar
