Polycarboxylate superplasticizers are more environmentally friendly in the use of concrete

Polycarboxylate superplasticizers (PCE or PC for short) are a high-performance chemical additive widely used in the concrete industry. Compared with traditional water reducers such as naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde condensates (NSF) and lignin sulfonates (Lignosulfonates), polycarboxylate superplasticizers have superior performance and environmental protection characteristics.

Environmental safety:

Green and pollution-free: The main raw materials of polycarboxylate superplasticizers can be naturally degraded, and environmentally friendly processes are used in the production process, which reduces the emission of harmful substances and has less impact on the environment. This is in line with the current global advocacy of green building materials.

Non-flammable and non-explosive: Due to its stable chemical properties, polycarboxylate water reducers will not cause fire or explosion during storage and transportation, reducing safety hazards, allowing it to be safely transported by trains, cars, and other means, expanding the convenience of logistics.

Impact on the human body: Although polycarboxylate water reducers are chemical products, they have little impact on workers' health under normal use and storage conditions. Despite this, safety regulations must be followed during operations to avoid direct skin contact and ingestion, as any chemical should be handled with caution.

Technical advantages:

High-efficiency water reduction: Polycarboxylate water reducers can provide higher water reduction effects at lower dosages, which means that the water-cement ratio of concrete can be greatly reduced, thereby improving the strength and durability of concrete.

Improve concrete fluidity: They can significantly improve the workability of concrete, maintaining good fluidity even at low water-cement ratios, which is conducive to the pumping and pouring of concrete.

Slump-retaining performance: Polycarboxylate water reducers can maintain the slump of concrete for a long time and reduce the loss of fluidity of concrete during transportation and pouring.

Strong adaptability: Polycarboxylate water reducer can show good adaptability to different types of cement and aggregates and is suitable for a variety of construction conditions.

Optimize concrete microstructure: By controlling the size and distribution of bubbles in concrete, polycarboxylate water reducer helps to form a denser microstructure, thereby improving the physical and mechanical properties of concrete.
According to statistics, Austria builds 130,000 square meters of new concrete facilities every day, which is equivalent to the area of about 18 football fields. If this trend continues, Austria's green space will become less and less, and by 2050, the whole of Austria will be surrounded by concrete.

In large cities like Vienna, which concrete gray buildings have long dominated, cities are increasingly affecting green spaces in rural areas. For streets, buildings par, king lots, etc., nature has turned into asphalt. As "Puls24" further reports, by sealing the floor, about half of the building area is completely impenetrable, which, as explained by the World Wildlife Fund, has a huge impact on the environment and us humans.

The Nature Fund believes that the disappearance of green spaces has the following hazards:

Species extinction: When nature is destroyed, local species lose their habitat. Environmentalists believe: "Now, many species are on the red list of endangered species."

The basis of life: Concreteization means that the soil loses important functions, and people lose their homes and livelihoods.
Climate crisis: Due to the increase in traffic on the roads, Austria's carbon dioxide emissions are too high, and the increase in temperature has also turned concrete surfaces into real ovens.

"We are now consuming far more land than we normally need," complains Maria Schachinger, an activist at the World Wildlife Fund. "Land consumption" is developing even faster than population growth. That's why her group is now calling for a strict and binding soil protection law: "This is the only way our land can thrive again. Our plants and animals will have room to develop again, and our humans will have a better quality of life again."
