High-Performance Concrete Additives
In today's construction industry, the demand for stronger, more durable, and cost-effective concrete solutions has never been higher. From towering skyscrapers to sprawling infrastructure projects, the quality of concrete directly impacts structural integrity, project timelines, and overall budgets.
At the heart of modern concrete innovation lies a class of chemical admixtures known as superplasticizers, with Polycarboxylate Ether (PCE) standing out as the gold standard for high-performance applications.
PollyFlex® PCE, developed and supplied by ZOVAE, represents the pinnacle of superplasticizer technology. As a high-range water reducer, PollyFlex® dramatically enhances concrete flowability while slashing water content by up to 40%.

The Science Behind Polycarboxylate Ether Technology
Third Generation Technology
PCE represents the evolution beyond lignosulfonates and naphthalene-based admixtures, featuring a unique polycarboxylate backbone with long polyethylene glycol side chains.
Dual Mechanism Action
Operates through electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance, preventing particle aggregation and ensuring uniform dispersion within concrete mixes.
Superior Performance
Achieves 25-40% water reduction while maintaining workability, resulting in higher strength and improved durability through reduced permeability.
How PollyFlex® Works
When added to a concrete mix, PollyFlex® PCE adsorbs onto the surface of cement particles. The negatively charged backbone repels adjacent particles, while the PEG side chains create a physical barrier that prevents clumping. This dual effect significantly reduces the water required to achieve desired slump.
vs Traditional Superplasticizers:
- Greater dosage efficiency — smaller quantities yield superior results
- Prolonged workability — maintains slump over extended periods
- Broad compatibility with various cement types and SCMs
