MABNA P-A-17 Accelerating Superplasticizer Concrete

MABNA P‑A‑17 is a new‑generation polycarboxylate‑ether‑based chemical admixture that ensures optimum workability and durability of concrete under various climatic conditions—especially in cold weather—by significantly reducing the required mixing water and accelerating the initial setting.

This product provides an advanced performance similar to, yet superior to, conventional antifreeze additives (both powdered and liquid), offering an effective solution to overcome low‑temperature concreting limitations.

One of its most important characteristics is its ability to increase the rate of early‑strength development without the need to raise the cement dosage, which clearly distinguishes it from traditional lignosulfonate‑ and naphthalene‑based admixtures.

Its special formulation not only improves the slump and flowability of fresh concrete but also optimizes the hydration process, effectively preventing negative effects associated with cold conditions and inadequate curing.

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

  • Through effective surface adsorption on cement particles and increased electrostatic repulsion among them, MABNA P‑A‑17 optimizes the hydration process while simultaneously enhancing several key properties of both fresh and hardened concrete.

  • Provides a significant reduction in the water‑to‑cement ratio without the unnecessary increase of cement content, resulting in higher compressive strength.

  • Accelerates early‑strength development and reduces curing time — ideal for time‑sensitive construction projects.

  • Improves workability and flowability, enabling faster placement and compaction, reducing labor requirements, and lowering overall execution costs.

  • Delivers a superior performance level compared with older generations of plasticizers such as lignosulfonate‑ and naphthalene‑based admixtures.

  • Enhances concrete pumpability and mechanical properties against creep and shrinkage.

  • Fully compatible with all types of Portland cements and pozzolanic materials, without altering setting time.

  • Chloride‑free and non‑corrosive, making it completely safe for use in reinforced and prestressed concrete.
