NOVASTAR Fast-Setting System Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer

What Is A Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer?

Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer is an advanced polymeric compound designed to reduce the water demand in concrete and mortar mix while preserving its fluidity and workability. Unlike traditional water reducers, it, with a unique comb-like molecular structure, delivers superior performance. They can significantly reduce water usage by 25% to 40% without compromising the concrete’s strength, thereby cutting costs and diminishing the heat of hydration in cement. As a result, this helps prevent cracking and enhances the overall strength and durability of the concrete.

NOVASTAR, a leading brand under LANDU, specializes in innovative specialty additives, offering REACH- and ISO-certified PCE superplasticizers with tailored solutions for exceptional quality and performance.

NOVASTAR Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer 540P Advantages

NOVASTAR PCE 540P is highly suitable for specialty mortars, especially for fast-setting and hardening systems. This is because PCE 540P can enhance the hydration of cement, featuring fast early strength development. It also works seamlessly with accelerating admixtures, such as calcium chloride or alkali-based accelerators. At the same time, PCE 540P itself is low in alkali and chloride, causing no erosion to reinforcing concrete with steel rods.

NOVASTAR Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer 540P Applications

Cement Self-Leveling Compounds

  • NOVASTAR PCE 540P promotes rapid initial setting and early strength development in the cement-based self-leveling compound system, allowing the surface to be ready for further treatment, such as flooring installation, in a shorter time. This improves construction efficiency.
  • As a highly efficient water reducer, NOVASTAR PCE 540P also improves the strength and durability of the self-leveling layer, reducing the risk of cracking and shrinkage due to excess water.

Repair Mortar

  • NOVASTAR PCE 540P improves the workability of repair mortar, making it easier to apply in thin or thick layers, as well as in hard-to-reach areas. In addition, 540P superplasticizer enhances the compressive strength of the repair mortar and avoids shrinkage, cracking, and delamination by lowering the water-to-cement ratio.
  • Repair mortar needs rapid setting and faster early strength development to minimize downtime and restore structural integrity quickly. NOVASTAR PCE 540P allows for faster return to service, especially for infrastructure of high-traffic areas.

Waterproof Mortar

  • NOVASTAR PCE 540P ensures proper coverage and adhesion to the substrate due to its ability to improve the workability of waterproof mortar. It meets the requirement of fast curing and strength development in the early stage while forming a protective barrier quickly.
  • By reducing the water-cement ratio, NOVASTAR PCE 540P decreases the porosity and permeability of the waterproof mortar. It provides effective water resistance, protecting the structure from moisture damage.

3D Printed Concrete

  • 3D-printed concrete means precise control over rheology to ensure smooth extrusion and shape retention. NOVASTAR PCE 540P helps maintain thixotropy, the ability to solidify when at rest, ensuring the printed layers hold their shape without slumping or deformation.
  • NOVASTAR PCE 540P also leads to faster printing speeds and supports subsequent layers of the printed structure during the printing process.

UHPC(Ultra-High Strength Concrete)

NOVASTAR PCE 540P could reduce porosity and permeability, achieving high compressive strength in the UHPC system, typically exceeding 150MPa. It also effectively disperses cement particles and reduces internal friction, ensuring easy mixing, pumping, and placement, even in complex forms or tightly reinforced structures.

Grouting Mortar

NOVASTAR PCE 540P gives grouting mortar excellent flowability to penetrate tight spaces, cracks, and voids. It can enhance the cohesion and internal bonding of the grout. Also, it improves the compressive strength and durability of the grout by decreasing the water-cement ratio.
