Kalakim High-Range Water Reducer with Very High Slump Retention
An advanced concrete additive for maximum water reduction while maintaining exceptional workability.
key benefits
Maximum water reduction results in denser, stronger concrete, ideal for high-load-bearing structures with a long lifespan. Very high slump retention facilitates concrete pouring over long distances or in hot weather conditions. Increased mechanical strength and durability reduce maintenance costs and ensure structural safety. Compatibility with mineral additives and reduced cracking and shrinkage enhance mix design flexibility and the final quality of the concrete.

Kalakim Superplasticizer for High-Range Water Reduction with Very High Slump Retentio
Kalakim superplasticizer is a third-generation chemical additive based on polycarboxylate ether (PCE), designed for producing high-performance concrete. This product can reduce the water content in the concrete mix by up to 45%, while maintaining a very high slump (typically in the range of 200-250 mm) for an extended period (up to 120 minutes). These features enable concrete pouring in complex conditions, such as large-scale construction projects, high-rise buildings, bridges, tunnels, and dams.
Kalakim enhances the dispersion of cement particles, improving the cohesion and uniformity of the concrete mix, and by reducing the water-to-cement ratio, it significantly increases the compressive and flexural strength of the concrete. Additionally, this additive improves the durability of concrete against environmental factors such as sulfate and chloride attacks and freeze-thaw cycles. The product complies with international standards such as ASTM C494 (Type F and G) and EN 934-2, and is suitable for various Portland cement types and specialized concrete mixes.
