The biggest immediate challenge for the EU will be replenishing its depleted gas inventories. While the EU could still increase LNG imports from countries such as the US, such purchases would be more expensive.
Refilling natural gas storage space to historical average levels this year could cost 70 billion euros, a sevenfold increase, compared to 10 billion euros in previous years. "
A complete replacement for Russian gas is not only very expensive, but it also may not be possible.
In the next 12 months, there is little way to meet the demand for a "normal" year in the absence of Gazprom, which also includes concrete water reducer.

Where Can the Water Reducer be Applied?

The concrete water reducer is suitable for the pumping or normal concrete engineering with a strength grade of C15 to C60 or above. It is especially suitable for concrete projects with high durability, high flow state, high slump protection, high strength, and high appearance quality requirements. It is very beneficial to the preparation of high fluidity concrete, self-compacting concrete, and plain-faced concrete. 

Ordinary water-reducing agents should be used for daily minimum temperature above 5℃ construction of concrete. High efficient water-reducing agents are suitable for daily minimum temperature above 0℃ construction of concrete, and suitable for the preparation of large fluidity concrete, high strength concrete, and steam curing concrete. 

 

How to Use the Water Reducer?

Polycarboxylate High-performance Water Reducer:

1, The dosage is 0.5%~2.0% of the total weight of the cementitious material, and the commonly used dosage is 0.2% ~ 0.5%. The concrete test should be carried out before use in order to optimize the dosage;

2, It cannot be used with the naphthalene system high-efficient water reducing agent compound, and other admixtures should also be used in advance of concrete compatibility experiment; 

3, Water consumption must be strictly controlled when using, because it affects slump.

4, Pay attention to concrete surface maintenance. 

 

Naphthalene Series High-efficient Water Reducer:

1, Dosage range: powder: 0.75%-1.5%; liquid: 1.5 to 2.5%. 

2, When using porous aggregate water should first be added and stirred, and then water reducer is added.

3, When the slump is large, the vibration time should not be too long, so that bleeding and stratification could be prevented.

 

HSB Aliphatic Superplasticizer 

1. Find out the best dosage through experiments. The recommended dosage is 1.5-2%; 

2, Add HSB and water together into concrete.

3. Due to the high water-reduction rate of HSB, a layer of yellow slurry will be secreted on the surface of the concrete before the initial setting, which is a normal phenomenon.  Finished concrete slurry wipe light, the color will be eliminated, or in concrete strength, the color will naturally eliminate, watering and maintenance color will be eliminated faster. It does not affect the inner and surface performance of concrete. 

 

Suppliers of Concrete Additives

The water reducer with stable quality should be selected. There should be good compatibility between water reducing agent and cement and admixture. When a variety of admixtures with different functions are used in combination, there should be good adaptability between admixtures and between admixtures and cement.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic not only had a significant impact on public health, it also severely affected one of the linchpins of the global economy – the tourism industry. As many countries introduced curfews and travel restrictions to contain the spread of the virus, travel across the world significantly declined from early 2020 onwards. The financial repercussions of the coronavirus have already begun to manifest themselves within the tourism industry. In 2020, global revenue from the travel and tourism industry was estimated to drop from a forecasted 711.94 billion U.S. dollars to 568.6 billion U.S. dollars, representing a decrease of over 20 percent. The region predicted to see the highest decline in revenue was Europe, decreasing from 211.97 billion U.S. dollars in 2019 to roughly 124 billion U.S. dollars in 2020.
The downturn in tourism has caused the recession, and the weakening of the economy has also affected the market demand for concrete water reducer. Recently, however, the demand for concrete water reducer has increased, so contact us for the latest news on concrete water reducer.
