Select by project scenario
Slump retention, early strength and durability requirements differ sharply between projects. Below are the six scenarios we supply most, with our recommended packages.
Ready-mix concrete
Long hauls and pumping demand slump retention; hot seasons require retardation on top of that.
- 2-hour slump retention
- Low pumping resistance
- Compatible with fly ash / GGBS
Precast elements & piles
Early strength and mould turnover drive productivity, often with steam curing.
- 12h demoulding strength
- Low dosage, high reduction
- Steam curing compatible
Infrastructure, bridges & hydraulics
Mass concrete and long-span structures need low heat of hydration and long-term durability.
- High SCM replacement
- Thermal crack control
- Impermeability & frost resistance
Self-compacting & high-strength concrete
Requires a precise balance between flowability and segregation resistance, with viscosity control.
- Slump flow ≥ 650 mm
- Segregation resistance
- Low viscosity, high flow
Shotcrete, tunnels & mining
Set acceleration and early strength are critical; wet-mix and dry-mix processes need different solutions.
- Initial set < 5 min
- Low rebound
- Alkali-free option
Marine, ports & chloride exposure
Chloride attack and freeze-thaw cycling determine service life; a combined durability approach is required.
- Chloride ingress resistance
- Rebar corrosion inhibition
- Salt-frost scaling resistance
Dry-mix mortar, grouts & duct grouting
Requires powder admixtures suited to dry blending and long-distance shipping.
- High-flow powder PCE
- Compatible with dry cement blends
- Controlled air content
Winter & low-temperature concreting
Anti-freeze and early strength must work together to prevent frost damage.
- Workable down to -10°C
- Early strength without retardation
- Chloride-free
