Effects of Admixture Usage in Concrete

What we need to know:

Before using concrete we have to know the Effects of Admixture Usage in concrete. DUCON, a leading manufacturer of concrete admixtures and additive in Bangladesh, was established in 2016, in Gazipur, Dhaka. It is specialized in concrete admixtures’ and additive research, manufacturing, and distribution. DUCON produces over 70 products, including PC Ether, SNF/PNS, SMF, SAF superplasticizer, set accelerators, set retarders, Air entraining agent, pumping aids, anti-freezing products, etc.

DUCON, concrete admixtures and additive provides strength, durability to concrete with less water uses as well as the knowledge about Effects of Admixture Usage. All DUCON products comply with industrial, national, or international standards. From the raw materials to the finished products, every process has to pass the strict testing with the requirements of national (industrial) standards. The manufacturing procedure is following the specifications of ISO9001. All products meet ASTM C494 Standard.

Concrete Admixtures and Concrete Additive Types as Follows for better understating Admixture Usage:

• Type A: Water reducing admixtures and additive,
• Type B: Retarding admixtures and additive,
• Type C: Accelerating admixtures and additive,
• Type D: Water reducing and retarding admixtures and additive,
• Type E: Water reducing and accelerating admixtures and additive,
• Type F: Water reducing, high range admixtures and additive,
• Type G: Water reducing, high range, and retarding admixtures and additive.

Annual production capability & Admixture usage:

•  10,000 tons of Polycarboxylic ether Superplasticizer (PC/PCE)
•  20,000 tons of naphthalene Superplasticizer (SNF/PNS)
•  10,000 tons of amino Sulfonic acid Superplasticizer (AS)
•  10,000 tons of Sulfonated Acetone formaldehyde Condensate (AK)
•  5,000 tons of Melamine Superplasticizer (SM)
•  20,000 tons of dry concrete mortar.
