PC 172 is a mid range concrete superplasticizer based on modified polycarboxylate ether. It is designed to provide highly fluid concrete for easier and faster placement, together with higher early strength achieved with substantially lower water cement ratios.
PC 172 has been designed for the production of a wide range of concrete mixes from very low water-cement ratios to pre-cast and self-consolidating concrete. It is formulated to impart improved workability to the concrete and to achieve high early and ultimate compressive strength.
- Increased early strength development
- Excellent concrete durability and rheology
- Improves resistance to carbonation
- Excellent handling properties
- Produces concrete with high levels of workability without segregation
- Lowers drying shrinkage and creep
- Increased productivity, resulting in reduced labor costs
