Product Highlights

PCE Superplasticizer Powder

Polycarboxylate Ether (PCE) powder is a high-performance water reducer used in:

- UHPC (Ultra High Performance Concrete)

- Self-Leveling Compounds

- Injection Mortar

- Repair Mortar

- Grouting and Gypsum Systems

Key Benefits:

- Reduces water content by 25%

- Enhances concrete strength by 15–20%

- Saves cement usage by 10–15%

- Increases slump by 100–200 mm

- Improves concrete durability and compactness

Unlike PCE liquids, Chemion's powders contain over 98% solid content, making them ideal for drymix formulations.

Amino Acid Gypsum Retarder

Extends gypsum setting time without compromising strength.

Advantages:

- Small dosage with high efficiency

- Fast setting control without pH sensitivity

- Outperforms citric and tartaric acid in strength retention

Main Uses:

- Gypsum board

- Plaster gypsum

- Bonding compounds

- Self-leveling gypsum

Silicone Hydrophobic Powder (SHP)

SHP 80 offers long-lasting water repellency in drymix systems.

Benefits:

- Powder form for easy dosing and dispersion

- Strong water beading (drop formation)

- Long-term durability

- Does not affect mechanical strength

- Suitable for ETICS, wall putty, repair mortars, and self-leveling

Powder Defoamer
