Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer PCE is polymerized by various macromolecule organic compounds, which is specialized for cement grouting and other admixtures. Due to it can enhance the fluidity, strength of final setting time, and decreased the crack after mortar solidified, so applied in cement non-shrinkage grouting, repair mortar, cement base flooring grouting, water proof grouting, crack-sealer and expanded polystyrene insulation mortar. Further, it also widely applied in gypsum, refractory and ceramic.

| No. | Advantage Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Easy to transport. |
| 2 | Easy to store. Storage condition: avoid high temperature. Storage lifetime is longer. |
| 3 | Lower overall cost, including ocean freight and logistics. |
| 4 | Higher water reducing rate compared to HPEG-based PCE. |
| 5 | More stable quality compared to liquid. Solid PCE prevents compatibility and adaptability issues caused by impure water in liquid formulas. |
| 6 | Easy to dissolve in water. It takes at most 10 minutes to dissolve and reach a 50% solid content. |
