Abstract. Admixtures are defined as those products that are incorporated in the moment of the process of mixture of the concrete in a quantity not bigger than 5 by mass of the cement %, with relationship to the cement content in the concrete, with object of modifying the properties of the mixture in .state fresh and/or hardened.

Chemical admixtures are added to concrete in very small amounts mainly for air entrainment, reduction of water or cement content, plasticizing of fresh concrete mixtures or to control the setting time of concrete. These admixtures can be broadly catagorised as superplasticizers, accelerators, retarders, water reducers and air entraining admixtures.

EUCON 37 is a high range water-reducing admixture. It may be added to the concrete at the job site or at the ready mix concrete plant. EUCON 37 is formulated to retain plastic consistency for 30-60 minutes after dosing depending on the initial slumps, dosage rates, and ambient temperature. No chlorides are used in its formulation; consequently, it is recommended for pre-stressed concrete.

Admixtures of concrete are generally used to alter the properties of concrete (such as increased workability or reduced water content, acceleration or retardation of setting time, acceleration of strength development, and improved resistance to weather and chemical attacks) to make it more suitable for a particular purpose. For example, calcium chloride can be used to accelerate strength ...
