Lignosulfonate

  • Lignosulfonate (Lignin) is a low to mid-range water-reducing and plasticizing additive in concrete admixtures. Lignosulfonate works by dispersing the cement particles and reducing the surface tension of the water, which makes it easier to mix and work the concrete.

    Lignosulfonate is a versatile and forgiving water-reducing additive that can be combined with PNS (Poly Naphthalene Sulfonate), MSF (Melamine Sulfonate Formaldehyde), and PCE (Polycarboxylate Ethers) to create a mid to high-range plasticizing compounds for the production of high-performance concrete.
