The Normal Plasticizers are used in hot weather concreting where delays to initial and final set are important and where maximum slump retention is of concern – such as site-batched, pre-cast, and ready-mixed concretes.
Normal Plasticizers considerably improves the cohesion of concrete, reducing segregation and bleed water.
They are of particular use where fine aggregates of poor grading and particle shape are evident.
Normal Plasticizers reduce placing problems in hot weather, through improving workability and workability retention.
They Improve surface finish and Improve trowel ability. Normal Plasticizers reduce honeycombing/cold joint effects and also improve pumpability of concrete. Normal Plasticizers reduce effects of various modes of attack on concrete and embedded steel through considerable reduction in permeability.
