PCE Superplasticizers for SCM-Rich Concrete: Unlocking the Next-Gen of Low-Carbon Construction
The construction industry is transitioning towards low-carbon concrete. Cement and concrete producers are increasingly adding supplementary cementitious materials to their mixes Depending on the SCM type and replacement level, these materials can reduce the embodied carbon of concrete by 20–50%, while advanced systems such as LC3 (Limestone Calcined Clay Cement) can lower the clinker-related CO₂ footprint by up to 40%. But often these cause some problems with how the concrete performs, how well it flows, how long it stays that way, and how strong it gets.
