Ready-mix concrete-major market for superplasticizers
The Concrete Superplasticizers Market is segmented into five types: Sulfonated naphthalene formaldehydes (SNF), sulfonated melamine formaldehydes (SMF), modified lignosulfonates (MLS), polycarboxylic acids (PC), and others. Each type of superplasticizer has its own properties and applications. These individual superplasticizers have application specific demands that are differentiated by placement, cost, and efficiency. Naphthalene superplasticizers are useful in ready-mix concrete applications to construct buildings, bridges, etc. Polycarboxylic acids are the latest and are expensive superplasticizer especially used in high-end constructions such as airports, government infrastructure, etc. The use of these superplasticizers increases the efficiency of their applications.
