Sustainable water reducers for ready-mix concrete

Borregaard offers a range of lignosulfonates that can be used as dispersants/water reducers in ready-mix concrete. These additives are based on lignin derived from sustainably managed forests, and represent plant-based alternatives to synthetic polymers.

Our standard and superior grade lignosulfonates are the most cost-effective water reducers on the market. They can be used for both plasticizer and superplasticizer admixture formulations.

Benefits offered:

• Water Reduction: Our products reduce water content without affecting workability, enhancing concrete strength.

• Improved Workability: They make concrete easier to mix, pour, and finish, resulting in a smoother surface.

• Enhanced Strength: Our lignosulfonates promote particle dispersion and reduce water-cement ratios, leading to stronger concrete.

• Sustainability: Derived from renewable sources, our lignosulfonates contribute to more climate friendly construction practices.

• Reduced Permeability: They lower permeability, making concrete more resistant to moisture and chemicals, extending its lifespan.
