Development Trend of Concrete Admixtures

With the increasing variety of concrete products and the complexity and large-scale construction structures, the demand for admixtures is increasing and the requirements are getting higher and higher. Therefore, concrete admixtures in the future will develop in the following aspects.

(1) Composite multi-functional type. Composite multi-functional admixtures can learn from each other’s strengths and weaknesses in performance, tend to be perfect, and should be cheap, widely used and have good performance.

(2) Serialization and diversification of varieties. Continuously develop new varieties to serialize and diversify them to meet the needs of various special projects and facilitate project use and quality control.

(3) Develop admixtures needed for high strengthening and anti-aging. In recent years, the average strength and maximum strength of concrete used in various countries have been continuously increasing. The development of high-performance admixtures required for high strengthening and anti-aging provides conditions for the preparation of high-strength and ultra-high-strength concrete. The reduction of high-efficiency water-reducing admixtures is used. Water acts to prepare high-fluidity concrete, which saves labor in construction, reduces construction costs, and improves work efficiency.

4) Reduce the production cost of admixtures. Make full use of various industrial wastes to produce admixtures and reform the formula and production process of admixtures. Produce high-quality, low-cost and high-efficiency admixture products to improve competitiveness for the widespread application of concrete admixtures.

(5) Strengthen and conduct in-depth research on the action mechanism of concrete admixtures. With the development of science and technology, advanced testing methods should be used to develop the mechanism of action of admixtures to lay the foundation for further exerting the role of admixtures, achieving better economic benefits, and effectively guiding production.

In summary, vigorously developing and promoting the application of concrete admixtures is an important way to promote scientific progress in the construction industry. As the variety of concrete admixtures continues to be developed and increased, the quality will gradually improve, the application will become increasingly widespread, and the research will become more in-depth, and it will definitely play a huge role and good benefits in the construction industry.
