Less water and better flow
Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer (PCE) is a concrete admixture. It helps disperse cement particles so the mix flows more easily and needs less water to reach the required consistency.
Why slump retention matters
Slump retention means keeping concrete workable during transport and before placing. PCE helps limit the loss of flow during this period.
Common uses
PCE is used in ready-mix concrete, self-compacting concrete, precast products, cement-based self-leveling materials and grout.
