Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer
Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer
Michem Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer Powder is a high performing polycarboxylate superplasticizer in powder form, also known as a High-Range Water Reducer, water-reducing concrete admixtures or PCE based Super-plasticizers . It is a free-flowing, spray-dried powder based on modified polycarboxylates, co- polymers. The product provides excellent water reduction and superior slump retention, making it an ideal choice for drymix mortar formulations and Readymix concretes. Specially engineered for Portland cement-based systems,Michem PCE enhances cementitious material fluidity without increasing water demand.
