What is a water-reducing agent?
Water reducing agent is a concrete admixture used in building materials that can effectively reduce the amount of water used in concrete mixing and maintain its collapse is not affected. This admixture is made of polymers such as lignosulfonate, which has a specific dispersion effect on cement particles, can improve its working performance and fluidity, and can also play a role in saving materials. Water reducing agent is mainly used in C15 to C60 grade above the concrete engineering, especially for the quality requirements of the concrete engineering; this admixture is indispensable. But there is an ordinary and efficient water-reducing agent in the choice of time to pay attention to because the two performances are different. The standard type of water-reducing agent can not be used at a temperature of five degrees Celsius below the concrete project. The efficient type can be used at zero degrees Celsius above the substantial project.
The role of water reducing agent
The water-reducing agent can reduce the material used without changing the proportion of the primary raw material. For example, if the water-reducing agent is mixed with 0% to 0.5%, the amount of cement can be saved by 15% to 30%. At the same time, it can also effectively improve the rheology and plasticity of concrete so that it has a variety of construction methods, such as pumping, and artesian flow, saving a lot of construction time. After adding water reducing agent to concrete, it can also effectively improve its service life at least more than once. In addition, it can also reduce the shrinkage rate of its solidification, avoid the phenomenon of cracks in the later stage of the component, and the frost resistance will also be improved, which is very favorable for winter use.
The difference between water reducing agent and retarder, the similarities and differences between the two
Different points: Water-reducing agent products can keep the working degree of cement slurry, mortar, and concrete unchanged and significantly reduce the amount of water used for mixing. It can dramatically improve the strength of concrete, improve the frost resistance and impermeability of concrete or reduce the amount of cement. The retarder delays the setting time of concrete. It has no noticeable effect on the strength of the later stage. It prolongs the hydration hardening time of cement so that the newly mixed concrete can remain plastic for a long time to adjust the setting time of the freshly mixed concrete.

Price of water-reducing agent
Water-reducing agent particle size and purity will affect the product's Price, and the purchase volume can also affect the cost of the Water-reducing agent. A large amount of large amount will be lower. The Price of the water-reducing agent is on our company's official website.
