What are Concrete Admixtures? Different Types and Uses?
Admixtures are specially formulated products that are added in small amounts to concrete, mortar or grout during the mixing process in order to modify the concrete properties in the plastic and / or hardened state. They are usually water based solutions and can be added to the concrete at up to 5% on cement weight, although most types are added at less than 1.5%.
What Are Different Types and Uses?
There are additives added during concrete mixing to enhance specific properties of the fresh or hardened concrete, such as workability, setting time, durability, or early and final strength. Could be natural or manufactured. They are of two main types: Chemical and Mineral Admixtures
Mineral Admixtures
Mineral admixtures make mixtures more economical by replacing certain percentages of cement weight, reducing permeability, increasing strength, and influencing other concrete properties. Mineral admixtures affect the nature of the hardened concrete through hydraulic or pozzolanic activity. Includes natural pozzolans, fly ash, Slag, and silica fume.
Chemical admixtures reduce the cost of construction, modify the properties of hardened concrete, and ensure quality of concrete during mixing/transporting/placing/curing. These Products are sold in ready-to-use form and are applied to concrete either in the factory or on-site. Stay with us to discover more about concrete Admixtures.

Chemical Admixtures Types
Chemical admixtures reduce the cost of construction, modify properties of hardened concrete, ensure quality of concrete during mixing/transporting/placing/curing, and overcome certain emergencies during concrete operations.
Water Reducing Admixtures
They are used to minimize the water demand in a concrete mix while maintaining workability and by reducing the water required, they enhance the strength and durability properties of concrete. They are also called plasticizers and these are classified into three types; normal plasticizers, mid-range plasticizers, and super plasticizers according to water reduction percentage. Superplasticizers are needed in areas such as the need for high strength, pumpability, self-consolidating properties of concrete, low permeability, low water absorption, and low shrinkage properties of concrete. Uniguard offers a range of water-reducing & high-range water-reducing admixtures with different technologies such as lignosulphonates, Formaldehyde derivatives, and 3rd generation polycarboxylate in system 118.
Retarding Admixtures
Retarding admixtures slows down the rate of hydration of cement in its initial stage and increases the initial setting time of concrete. used in high-temperature zones where concrete will set quickly, minimize the transport delay problems by delaying the setting time, and help eliminate cold joints in concrete. Uniguard offers retarding admixtures as Admix RD in addition to retarding admixtures which act as well as water-reducing admixtures as Admix RD Plus.
Accelerating Admixtures
reduces the initial setting time of concrete. They speed up the process of the initial stage of hardening of concrete improving the strength of concrete in its early stage by increasing the rate of hydration, and useful in a variety of conditions including early removal of formwork, shorter curing times, emergency repair work, construction in low-temperature zones, and so on. Uniguard offers Type C Accelerators and Type E Water-reducing and accelerating admixtures as per ASTM C494 in System 119
Superplasticizer
Superplasticizers are high-range water reducers that are additively used in making high-strength concrete. Plasticizers are chemical compounds that enable the production of concrete with approximately 15% less water content. Superplasticizers allow a 30% or more reduction in water content. It is chemical admixtures that are added to the concrete to improve their flowing ability, they help to reduce the amount of water in the concrete and to improve the strength and durability of concrete. They achieve a reduction in water content without loss of workability. Superplasticizers are used for producing flowing concrete to be used in inaccessible locations, floors or where very quick placing is required. A self-leveling and self-compacting concrete is called flowing concrete. Superplasticizers are also used for the production of high-strength and high-performance concrete. With the use of superplasticizers, flowing concrete could be produced with the water/cement ratio as low as 0.25 or even less.
