MABNA P-N-16 Normal Concrete Superplasticizer

simultaneous impact on multiple properties of both fresh and hardened concrete. According to international and national standards, a high-range water-reducing/superplasticizing admixture is defined as a material that, without altering workability, significantly reduces the mixing water content, or, without changing the water content, markedly increases slump or flow, or achieves both effects simultaneously. MABNA P‑N‑16 is a fourth-generation high-performance, polycarboxylate‑ether‑based concrete superplasticizer developed by the Research and Development unit of the Polycarboxylate Resin Production Division at Shimi Yaran Alvand Company. This product has been designed to produce concrete with a low water-to-cement ratio and high workability, and also demonstrates excellent performance in the production of self-compacting concrete (SCC).

Main Applications:

• Execution of various structural elements, including piles, foundations, columns, walls, and slabs, with uniform compaction and high-quality surface finish.
• Production and placement of prestressed and precast concrete with optimal workability and minimal air entrainment.
• Enhanced effectiveness in injecting cementitious grouts such as soil nailing grout, shotcrete, and soil stabilization works through improved penetrability and adhesion.
• Construction of water-retaining structures and low‑permeability concretes for use in tanks, canals, and projects in direct contact with surface and groundwater.
• High compatibility with pozzolans and blended cements to improve mechanical properties and concrete durability.
• Capability to produce self‑compacting concrete (SCC) and exposed concrete with uniform, void‑free surfaces and a desirable visual finish.
• Increased concrete flowability while maintaining cohesion, preventing segregation, and ensuring strong adhesion during placement.
• Reduction of the water‑to‑cement ratio alongside high slump, resulting in high compressive strength at both early and final ages.
• Acceleration of concreting and formwork stripping, shortening execution time and reducing construction costs.
• Improved concrete durability under severe environmental conditions by reducing chloride and sulfate ingress, enhancing abrasion resistance, and increasing performance in freeze‑thaw cycles.

• Advantages:

  • Significant reduction of mixing water and water-to-cement ratio: Decreases mixing water content by up to 25%.
  • Enhanced flowability and slump retention: Produces high-slump concrete even at low water-to-cement ratios, while extending workability time.
  • Improved mechanical properties and durability: Increases compressive strength at both early and final ages, boosts abrasion resistance, and enhances performance under freeze–thaw cycles.
  • Reduced permeability and improved watertightness: Minimizes penetration of chloride ions, sulfates, and water by lowering the water-to-cement ratio.
  • Improved integrity and cohesion of concrete: Produces cohesive concrete with no segregation, preventing creep and minimizing shrinkage.
  • Ease of placement: Facilitates pumping and reduces equipment wear.
  • Wide compatibility: Compatible with all types of Portland cements and pozzolanic materials without altering concrete setting times.
  • Economic efficiency: Allows cement savings of 10–20% depending on materials and mix design, without compromising strength.
  • Safety and environmental compatibility: Free of chlorides and other steel- and concrete‑damaging ions; non‑toxic and non‑flammable
