Water-Reducing Admixtures
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, water conservation has become a concern in the United States. Our water resources are heavily tapped and strategies have been developed and continue to evolve to address these issues. The use of water-reducing admixtures in concrete production helps to reduce the amount of fresh water used when making concrete.
BASF offers a wide range of water-reducing, mid-range water-reducing, and high-range water-reducing admixtures for concrete.
Why it’s a sustainable technology
- Reduces the amount of fresh water used in the production of concrete
- Creates more durable, longer lasting structures
- Mixture proportions require less cement for equivalent workability, strength and durability
- Lower cement contents result in lower CO2 emissions and energy usage per volume of concrete produced
How it works
- Water-reducing admixtures disperse cement and other supplementary cementitious materials
- Increases workability
- Enables optimization of mixture proportions
- Facilitates low w/cm concrete production, high strength and enhanced durability
