- Synopsis
- The benefit fo polycarboxylate based superplasticizers spreads the widely application of it in Europe and it is occupying about 20% of a market share in concrete admixture. Meanwhile a study and development of the new molecular structure of it has been continued. Recently a unique adaptation combined with SCC especially for the European precast industry has been achieved by a new molecular designing.
