Melamine Super Plasticizers
High-Performance Superplasticizer
Sulfonated Melamine Formaldehyde (SMF) based super plasticizers for high-performance concrete. When water and cement are mixed, cement particles agglomerate, hindering dispersion. Our super plasticizers increase slump without additional water, providing uniform dispersion and enhanced concrete utilization.

Mechanism of Action
How Melamine Super Plasticizers Work
Melamine resins provide additional cohesive bond with the dispersed cement grains, thus achieving up to 25% improvement in strength.
Key Performance Benefits
Enhanced Dispersion
Uniform distribution of cement particles for optimal hydration
Reduced Water Demand
Maintains workability while reducing water/cement ratio
Improved Cohesion
Stronger molecular bonds between cement and aggregates
Extended Workability
Longer slump retention for complex concrete placement
Technical Note: The graph demonstrates the relationship between melamine super plasticizer dosage and concrete strength improvement, showing optimal performance at higher dosage rates.
Key Advantages
Superior Performance
Melamine resins provide additional cohesive bond with dispersed cement grains, achieving up to 25% improvement in strength.
Enhanced Workability
Improves workability and covers total steel structures without increasing water/cement ratio, reducing water requirement significantly.
Durability Benefits
Increases concrete service life resulting from enhanced durability, eliminating honeycomb structures and porosity in steel structures.
Application Instructions
Dosage Guidelines
The dosage of SMF depends on the flow effect required. Typical dosage ranges:
- • Grade 40: 5-20 liter per cubic meter of concrete
- • Higher dosage (5-20 liter/m³) for reducing water/cement ratio
- • Widely used in construction of dams, bridges, canals and large structures
Recommended Applications
- • High early strength production including precast concrete articles
- • Slabs, beams, columns and areas of high steel congestion
- • Thin sections for achieving impermeable, honey comb free, high quality concrete
- • Particularly suitable for roof slabs, water tanks, basement foundation
- • Pumpable concrete applications
