NOVASTAR Premium Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer
What Is A Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer?
- Polycarboxylate Superplasticizers, high-performance water-reducing agents, are sophisticated polymeric organic compounds primarily composed of polycarboxylates, synthesized through graft copolymerization. Compared to traditional lignosulfonate-based and naphthalene-based water reducers, they boast unparalleled advantages, including highly customizable molecular structures, exceptional water-reducing efficiency of up to 40%, low dosage requirements, and superior compatibility. Their distinctive comb-like architecture forms an effective absorption layer, leveraging both electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance mechanisms to disperse cement particles and inhibit the rapid formation of flocculated structures. This significantly enhances the fluidity and workability of concrete and mortar.
- NOVASTAR, a leading brand under LANDU, pioneers innovative specialty additives. We provide REACH- and ISO-certified PCE superplasticizers, ensuring superior quality and reliability.
NOVASTAR Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer 580P Advantages
NOVASTAR 580P PCE superplasticizer is a cure-all, solution for various concrete and mortar mixes, in modern construction projects. It is used to improve pumpability and workability for large-scale projects while enhancing early strength development and final compressive and flexural strength. Widely compatible with diverse base materials, including cement and gypsum, and additives such as gypsum retarder, accelerator, and air-entraining agent, NOVASTAR Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer(PCE) 580P features a high water-reducing rate stable between 35 – 40% at a low dosage ranging from 0.1% to 0.3%.
NOVASTAR Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer 580P Applications
Cement Self-Leveling Compounds
NOVASTAR 580P PCE superplasticizer ensures smooth application, high flowability, and quick setting of cement-based self-leveling compounds, so as to achieve a flat, smooth, and defect-free surface. Given the leveling compounds’ need for rapid strength development, NOVASTAR 580P PCE is designed to reduce downtime and allow for faster project completion. That’s why PCE 580P is selected for self-leveling projects in warehouses, factories, and other industrial settings.
UHPC(Ultra-High Strength Concrete)
NOVASTAR 580P PCE offers a low water-to-cement ratio, which is critical for high compressive strength(typically exceeding 150MPa) and low porosity required in Ultra High-Performance Concrete. It also provides excellent slump retention and flowability of UHPC, making it easily placed and shaped even in complex forms. This is particularly important for thin-section or intricate UHPC applications, such as bridges or architectural elements.
Precast Concrete
NOVASTAR Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer 580P ensures the concrete mix is easy to pour, compact, and mold into intricate shapes in complex precast components. Precast concrete components need to reach their full potential strength quickly due to tight production schedules, which can be achieved by adding NOVASTAR 580P PCE. It also accelerates precast elements’ demolding and reduces production cycle times.
Grouting and Bedding Mortar
As the figure shows, NOVASTAR 580P PCE stands out in compressive and flexural strength gain. It provides high flowability, helping the mortar easily penetrate tight spaces, voids, and gaps. In addition, it enhances the bond strength of the mortar to substrates, ensuring a secure and durable connection.
PCE 580P Performance in Grouting Mortar
| Model | PCE Dosage | Initial Fluidity | 30-min Fluidity | 3-day Flexural Strength | 3-day Compressive Strength | 28-day Flexural Strength | 28-day Compressive Strength |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PCE 580P | 2.5 g | 340 | 337 | 8.8 | 54.8 | 9.9 | 81.7 |
Repair Mortar
NOVASTAR PCE 580P promotes rapid and sustained strength gain, bringing the required load-bearing capacity. Reducing the water-to-cement ratio ensures workability even in challenging conditions such as overhead surfaces. Also, NOVASTAR PCE 580P enhances the mortar’s resistance to water penetration, chemical attack, freeze-thaw cycles, and abrasion.
Waterproof Mortar
NOVASTAR Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer(PCE) 580P significantly reduces the water demand, resulting in a denser and less porous mortar matrix to block water penetration. It provides durable and watertight sealing for water-retaining structures such as swimming pools and water tanks. Also, PCE 580P helps the waterproof mortar to flow into cracks, joints, and uneven surfaces, ensuring complete coverage and sealing.
3D Printed Concrete
NOVASTAR Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer 580P enables the concrete to easily pass through the printer nozzle while maintaining smooth and consistent extrusion. Enhancing the thixotropic behavior of the concrete, PCE 580P helps create complex and custom-designed structures, such as facades, walls, and decorative elements. It also promotes quick setting and early strength development, ensuring that each layer of printed concrete can support the weight of subsequent layers without deformation.
