Description

Structuro W415 is differentiated from conventional super-


plasticisers in that it is based on a unique carboxylic ether
polymer with long lateral chains. This greatly improves
cement dispersion. At the start of the mixing process an
electrocstatic dispersion occurs but the presence of the
lateral chains, linked to the polymer backbone, generate a
steric hindrance which stabilises the cement particle’s
capacity to separate and disperse. This mechanism consid-
erably reduces the water demand in flowable concrete.

Structuro W415 combines the properties of water reduction


and workability retention. It allows the production of high
performance concrete and/or concrete with high workability.

Structuro W415 is a particularly strong hyperplasticiser


allowing production of consistent concrete properties around
