There are tips of how to choose the concrete admixtures construction chemicals shared by Giant.

Xuzhou Giant Building Materials Co., Ltd. is a leading manufacturer of concrete admixtures, was established in 1998 in Xuzhou, China. It is specialized in chemical admixtures research, manufacturing, and distribution. The company produces over 70 products, including construction chemical, high range water reducers, set accelerators, set retarders, anti-freezing products, coatings, adhesives, water-proofing materials etc. 

Giant products are in the form of chemical admixtures, precast admixtures and construction chemical, admixtures used by ready-mix concrete plants, precast admixtures used by the concrete plant and concrete additives which reduce usage of water, improve durability and workability of concrete, and increase compression strength of concrete.

Chemical admixtures are the ingredients in concrete other than your local cement, water, and aggregate that are added to the mix immediately before or during mixing. Producers use admixtures primarily to reduce the cost of concrete construction; to modify the properties of hardened concrete; to ensure the quality of concrete during mixing, transporting, placing, and curing; and to overcome certain emergencies during concrete operations.

Successful use of admixtures depends on the use of appropriate methods of batching and concreting. Most admixtures are supplied in ready-to-use liquid form and are added to the concrete at the plant or at the jobsite. Certain admixtures, such as pigments, expansive agents, and pumping aids are used only in extremely small amounts and are usually batched by hand from premeasured containers.

The effectiveness of an admixture depends on several factors including: type and amount of cement, water content, mixing time, slump, and temperatures of the concrete and air. Sometimes, effects similar to those achieved through the addition of admixtures can be achieved by altering the concrete mixture-reducing the water-cement ratio, adding additional cement, using a different type of cement, or changing the aggregate and aggregate gradation.
