Sustainable dispersants and rheology modifiers for concrete
Borregaard offers cost-effective, sustainable dispersants and rheology modifiers that help control concrete workability. Our products are based on lignin and cellulose fibrils sourced from sustainably farmed trees, and represent plant-based alternatives to synthetic polymers.
Our standard and superior grade lignosulfonates are the most cost-effective water reducers on the market for ready-mix concrete.
Our cellulose fibrils product is a rheology modifier that can be used as a highly efficient yield stress enhancer or a viscosity modifying agent in shotcrete and self-compacting concrete (SCC).
Benefits offered:
- Sustainable alternatives to synthetic products
- Excellent rheological control
- Compatible with most other chemicals
- Improved and consistent concrete strength and durability
- Good water reduction capacity
- Cost-efficiency/formulation cost reduction
What we offer:
Ready-mix concrete
Lignosulfonates: sustainable dispersants, water reducers and retarders for ready-mix concrete (rmc).
Shotcrete
Cellulose fibrils: sustainable additives that improve mix stability, sprayability, and overall performance
Self-compacting concrete
Cellulose fibrils: rheology modifiers that improve the workability and sustainabilty of scc.
