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.

Serica execution notes

Upon request, water-reduction performance can be verified in a third-party lab on a reference mortar mix before release.
Grade matched to the buyer's existing PCE backbone (ether vs ester) so it slots into the current formulation without recalibration.
Delivered pricing quoted to your plant; Incoterm and contracting structure confirmed per quotation.
CoA per lot: solid content, chloride content, moisture; water-reduction / slump-flow performance verified on request.
