What it does

Polycarboxylate ether superplasticiser — the third-generation water-reducing admixture for concrete, mortars and self-compacting systems. Powder grade for dry-mix lines; allows 25–40% water reduction at constant workability.

Typical applications

  • Precast and ready-mix concrete (powder dosing)
  • Self-compacting concrete (SCC)
  • Self-levelling underlayments
  • Dry-mix mortar lines requiring high early strength

Serica execution notes

  • Water-reduction performance verified in a third-party lab on a reference mortar mix before container release.
  • Grade matched to the buyer's existing PCE backbone (ether vs ester) so it slots into the current formulation without recalibration.
  • DDP to gate · single European invoice.

Pricing, MOQs, lead-times and producer identities are quoted per buyer.
