Kalakim High-Range Water Reducer with High Slump Retention
An advanced concrete additive for significant water reduction while maintaining concrete workability.
Introduction to Kalakim High-Range Water Reducer with High Slump Retention
Kalakim high-range water reducer with high slump retention is a next-generation chemical additive designed to enhance the properties of both fresh and hardened concrete. This product reduces the water content required in the concrete mix (up to 40%) while maintaining or even improving workability (slump), thereby enhancing the strength and durability of the concrete. Formulated based on polycarboxylate ether (PCE), it provides optimal dispersion of cement particles, enabling the production of high-performance concrete.
This product is particularly suitable for large-scale construction projects such as bridges, dams, tunnels, and high-rise buildings, where high-strength, highly workable, and long-lasting durable concrete is required.
key benefits
Significant reduction in water content results in denser concrete with higher strength, ideal for high-load-bearing structures. Maintaining high slump allows for concrete pouring in challenging conditions or projects with extended transport times. Increased concrete durability reduces maintenance costs and extends the structure’s lifespan. Compatibility with various cement types and reduced cracking improve the flexibility and final quality of the structure.
- Reduced cracking
- High slump retention
- Increased concrete durability
- Compatibility with various cement types
- Significant reduction in water consumption
- Increased compressive and flexural strength
