Admixtures for Concrete:
Concrete, though widely used, is often misunderstood as a simple material. Historically, admixtures were met with skepticism, but they offer significant physical and economic advantages. While not a substitute for poor mix design or workmanship, the right admixture can greatly improve concrete performance and durability, as supported by ACI Standards.
Multichem provides a wide range of high-quality admixtures designed to meet specific project needs—from enhancing workability to improving chemical resistance. Our innovative solutions support sustainable, cost-effective construction and ensure long-lasting, high-performance concrete for both residential and commercial projects.
The following concrete admixtures are designed to enhance performance across various applications:
Normal Plasticizers
Versatile admixtures for concrete products to achieve 5% to 8% water reduction for a given workability.
Super Plasticizers
MULTIPLAST SUPER is a high-range water-reducing superplasticizer that enhances concrete workability or significantly reduces water content.
Super Plasticizers with Retardation
Multiplast Super R are super plasticizers with retardation properties, produced from processed lignosulphonates and sodium naphthalene sulphonate formaldehyde condensate
Accelerating Plasticizers
Accelerating admixtures for concrete products are used either to increase the rate of stiffening/setting of concrete or to enhance the rate of hardening and early strength gain.
Hiper Plasticizers
Hiper admixtures for concrete are designed to achieve a water reduction of 12% to 40% while maintaining the required workability or achieving a slump of 200 to 275 mm. These admixtures are used for concrete with a low water-to-cement (W/C) ratio.
Air Entraining Admixtures
Air-entraining and plasticizing admixtures are active chemicals that generate small, stable air bubbles throughout the concrete mix, enhancing its resistance to freezing and thawing.
Reinforcement Protection Additives
Sprayed Concrete Admixtures
Admixtures can be added to fresh concrete to enhance stability and control hydration (acting as a retarder) before spraying.
Shrinkage Reducing Admixtures
When added to concrete during the batching stage, shrinkage-reducing admixtures can significantly minimize both early and long-term drying shrinkage.
ASR Prevention Admixtures
These plasticizers/admixtures are added to concrete to mitigate Alkali-Silica Reactivity (ASR).
Anti-Washout Admixtures
Anti-washout admixtures are used to improve the stability of cement-based systems.
Grinding Aid Additives
Multichem consists of special additives that function as both a grinding aid and a performance enhancer for cement.
