Chemical Concrete Admixtures

Concrete admixtures are used to improve the behavior of concrete under a variety of conditions and are of two main types: chemical and mineral.

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.

Chemical admixtures are used to improve the quality of concrete during mixing, transporting, placement and curing. They fall into the following categories:

• air entrainers
• water reducers
• set retarders
• set accelerators
• superplasticizers
• specialty admixtures: which include corrosion inhibitors, shrinkage control, alkali-silica reactivity inhibitors, and coloring.
