Hakim Jawadwala,
Managing Director, M. J. Construction Chemicals shares how to design the concrete as per requirements
Importance of using admixtureThe function of using admixture to make concrete is to minimise the required water coupled with making workable concrete. The optimum use of water enables concrete to gain compressive strength. Admixtures also help make concrete cohesive and durable. At the same time, working of different kinds of admixtures has to be carefully selected to minimise the adverse effects of the concrete. For this, dose and type of admixture should be carefully adopted, and experts’ advice should be incorporated while designing the concrete as per requirements. To fulfil the above requirements, M. J. Construction Chemicals, an ISO 9001-2008 certified company, has a dedicated technical cell services to help customers in selecting proper admixture.
Different admixturesThere are different types of admixtures; namely, accelerating admixture, retarding admixture, water reducing admixture, air entraining admixture, super plasticisers, and third-generation plasticisers. These admixtures are generally used to make different types of concrete as per the requirements.
