What is POLLYFLEX PCE Superplasticizer Flake 690?

POLLYFLEX PCE Superplasticizer Flake 690 is a special concrete additive made by ZOVAE. This slump retention superplasticizer helps concrete stay workable for much longer than usual. In fact, concrete with our PCE Superplasticizer Flake 690 stays soft and easy to place for 6-9 hours! This is perfect when you need extra time to work with your concrete.

"Our PCE Superplasticizer Flake 690 solves the common problem of concrete hardening too quickly, especially during hot weather or long transport times."

Why Slump Retention Matters in Concrete

Slump is how we measure how workable concrete is. Higher slump means easier flowing concrete. As time passes, concrete naturally loses its slump and becomes harder to work with. This creates several problems:

  • Concrete becomes difficult to place properly
  • Workers must struggle more with stiff concrete
  • The final structure may have weak spots or flaws
  • Projects face delays and higher costs
The Solution

The Solution

Our PCE Superplasticizer Flake 690 (Slump Retention Type) solves these problems by keeping concrete workable much longer. Therefore, you get better results with less stress.

How Our PCE Superplasticizer Works

The POLLYFLEX PCE Superplasticizer Flake 690 works using smart chemistry. First of all, it has a special comb-like structure that separates cement particles. Additionally, it creates a protective barrier around these particles. Consequently, the concrete stays fluid and workable for hours longer.

The Science Behind Superior Slump Retention

When you add our PCE Superplasticizer Flake 690 to your concrete mix:

Working Mechanism of PCE
1 The main molecule attaches to cement particles
2 This slows down the hardening process
3 Special side chains prevent particles from clumping together
4 As a result, your concrete stays workable 3 times longer than with regular superplasticizers

Major Benefits of POLLYFLEX PCE Superplasticizer Flake 690

1 Amazing Slump Retention (6-9 Hours)

Our PCE Superplasticizer Flake 690 keeps concrete workable for up to 9 hours. Therefore, you don't need to worry about concrete hardening during:

  • Long drives from the plant to your job site
  • Hot weather conditions that normally speed up hardening
  • Complex pours that take extra time
  • Unexpected delays on the construction site

2 Reduced Water Needs, Stronger Concrete

With PCE Superplasticizer Flake 690, you can cut water use by over 25% while keeping the same workability. This leads to:

  • Higher strength concrete
  • Better durability against weathering
  • Lower shrinkage and fewer cracks
  • Reduced cement usage (good for the environment)

3 Easy-to-Use Flake Format

The flake format of our PCE Superplasticizer offers many practical advantages:

  • Takes up less storage space than liquid additives
  • Has a longer shelf life (24 months)
  • Allows for more precise measuring
  • Costs less to ship than liquid products

How to Use PCE Superplasticizer Flake 690

Getting the best results from our POLLYFLEX PCE Superplasticizer Flake 690 is simple:

1

Recommended dosage:

0.25% to 0.8% of cement weight (most commonly 0.7%)

2

Mixing method:

First dissolve flakes in mixing water, then add to concrete

3

Compatibility:

Works well with most concrete additives, but don't mix directly with other superplasticizers

4

Testing:

Always do a small test batch first to find the perfect dosage for your specific materials

Frequently Asked Questions About PCE Superplasticizer Flake 690

Q: How does PCE Superplasticizer Flake 690 differ from regular superplasticizers?

A: Our PCE Superplasticizer Flake 690 provides 3 times longer slump retention (6-9 hours) and greater water reduction (25%+) than traditional superplasticizers. Also, its flake format offers easier storage and handling.

Q: Can I use PCE Superplasticizer Flake 690 in cold weather?

A: Yes! While it's especially valuable in hot weather, our PCE Superplasticizer works well in all temperatures. In cold weather, you might need a slightly lower dosage.

Q: Is PCE Superplasticizer Flake 690 suitable for precast concrete?

A: For precast applications, we recommend our standard PCE Superplasticizer rather than the Slump Retention Type, as precast typically benefits from faster setting times.
