Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer Powder (PCE Powder) is a new-generation water-reducing agent developed for high-performance dry-mix mortar applications such as self-leveling compounds, tile adhesives, grouts, and repair mortars. With outstanding dispersing efficiency, PCE Powder enables mortars to achieve higher flowability, lower water demand, and improved mechanical strength, supporting the development of modern, high-performance construction materials.

PCE Powder works by dispersing cement particles uniformly, allowing mortar to reach excellent fluidity even at low water-to-cement ratios. This leads to greater early strength, reduced shrinkage, higher density, and enhanced surface quality—making it an ideal choice for factories seeking stable, efficient, and cost-effective production.

Why Choose PCE Powder?

1. High Water Reduction Efficiency

PCE Powder greatly decreases water demand, resulting in stronger and more durable mortar structures.

2. Excellent Flowability

Ideal for self-leveling and pump-applied systems, achieving smooth, uniform surfaces.

3. Powder Form for Better Compatibility

Easy to blend into dry-mix systems, resistant to freezing, and convenient for long-distance transportation.

4. Improves Strength Development

Enhances both early and final strength through optimized cement hydration.

5. Enhances Production Stability

Supports consistent quality across different mixing environments and raw materials.

Synergistic Use With VAE (RDP) and HPMC

To achieve balanced performance in dry-mix mortars, PCE Powder is commonly used together with VAE Redispersible Polymer Powder (RDP) and HPMC (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose). These three additives form the core of modern mortar formulations.

VAE Redispersible Polymer Powder (RDP): Improving Flexibility & Adhesion

VAE RDP enhances bonding strength, flexibility, crack resistance, and impact resistance.
When combined with PCE Powder, the synergy brings:

• Smoother troweling and application

• Higher adhesion to both porous and non-porous substrates

• Improved flexibility to withstand thermal expansion

• Better durability under challenging climate conditions

This combination is especially effective in:

• Tile adhesives

• Putty and skim coats

• Exterior insulation systems

• Self-leveling mortars

HPMC: Essential for Water Retention & Workability

HPMC provides excellent water retention, thickening control, open time extension, and anti-sag performance.
In combination with PCE Powder, HPMC ensures:

• Stable flow without segregation

• Better hydration efficiency

• Longer working time

• Smooth and consistent application

The PCE + HPMC system is ideal for:

• Self-leveling compounds

• Tile adhesives

• Ready-mixed plaster and putty

• Grouts and repair mortars

Complete Additive System for High-Performance Mortars

Using PCE Powder + VAE (RDP) + HPMC together allows manufacturers to build a fully optimized mortar formula with:

• High fluidity

• Strong adhesion

• Excellent flexibility

• Stable workability

• Improved durability

This modern additive system helps factories achieve competitive, high-quality products tailored for global markets such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and South America.
