The direct effect of a plasticizer on the cement paste is to decrease the viscosity of the cement. A plasticizer causes the cement paste to become more" liquid ", flow faster. It achieves this by coating the cement particles and causing a repulsion. between these: When the particles repel each other, there is less resistance to the flow of the whole, there is also a removal of micro flocs, which allows the release and better distribution of water.
In this way the cement paste flows more and therefore the concrete also does it. A greater fluidity of the concrete then allows to reduce the amount of water thereof, thereby modifying the properties of the paste, which with less water will increase its resistance in the hardened state.
Plasticizers or water reducers allow the manufacture of concrete at a lower cost and with a higher performance. The plasticizers are included in the concrete to act directly on the cement and the additions.
If instead of eliminating water, water and cement are simultaneously eliminated while preserving the same quality of paste (same proportion of water and cement), resistance and fluidity can be maintained with a lower water and cement content. The cost of a plasticizer is generally lower than that of water and cement that saves, it is there that optimized concrete is achieved. "
TOROCRET S0100 Sodium Polinaphthalene Sulfonate, is a product obtained by poly-condensation of naphthalene sulfonic acid, completely soluble in water, due to its chemical nature, it is a product that is applied for multiple preparations of plasticizers and superplasticizers for concrete because Properties generates a repulsion of cement particles and agglomerates, improving workability, compression, thus optimizing the water / cement ratio
