Construction Chemicals

Dai-ichi has introduced high performance, versatile admixtures for the construction industry. These products are polycarboxylate ethers useful for self compacting, high strength concrete. Polyether/polycarboxylate based superplasticizers help to improve properties of concrete like workability, homogeneity, and cohesiveness. The concrete industry demands a cost-efficient high-quality concrete with a lower water to cement ratio.
We offer three types of superplasticizers that are efficient to enhance the quality and durability of bridges, high-rise buildings, and dams.

1. Water reducing superplasticizers are designed to produce high strength concrete by reducing the water requirement by more than 30% without affecting excessive retardation.
2. Retarding superplasticizers are very useful to decelerate the setting rate of concrete keeping it workable during placement. These are especially useful to modify the properties of concrete in hot weather.
3. Accelerating superplasticizers help to speed up finishing operations by increasing the rate of early strength development and reducing the time required for proper curing and protection. These are especially useful to modify the properties of concrete in cold weather.
