Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer (PCE) is a type of admixture used in cement and concrete to improve workability and reduce water content. It is a high-performance superplasticizer that can reduce water content by up to 30% while maintaining the same level of workability. PCE is a synthetic polymer that is added to the concrete mix to reduce the surface tension of the water, allowing it to penetrate the cement particles more easily. This reduces the amount of water needed to achieve the desired workability, resulting in a stronger, more durable concrete. PCE is also used to reduce the amount of cement needed in a concrete mix, resulting in a more cost-effective product. The PCE market is growing rapidly due to its ability to improve the performance of cement and concrete. It is used in a variety of applications, including residential and commercial construction, infrastructure projects, and industrial applications. Some of the major companies in the PCE market include BASF, Sika, Dow, Fosroc, and W.R. Grace. Show Less Read more
