Product Q&A

Q:How is PCE 157L different from PCE 155L?

While both are slump retainers, PCE 155L is for extended retention (1-3 hours). PCE 157L is for ultra-long retention (6-10 hours). It uses a different, slow-release molecular technology designed for the most extreme duration requirements.

Q:Does it delay the final set of concrete?

It is designed to retard the loss of workability, not excessively delay the final set. The concrete will still gain strength on a predictable schedule. For massive pours, this controlled set time is often a benefit, helping manage thermal cracking.

Q:Can I use it in precast?

Yes, for extremely large or complex precast elements where long placement times are anticipated, PCE 157L is an excellent choice to ensure perfect consolidation throughout the pour.

Q:Is it worth the investment?

For standard projects, perhaps not. But for logistically critical projects, the cost of a failed pour, a wasted truckload, or a cold joint far exceeds the investment in PCE 157L. It is insurance for perfection.

Q:How should PCE 157L be compounded?

PCE 157L must be compounded with a primary water-reducing PCE (e.g., PCE 154L, 156L). The standard ratio is 82:5.5 (Primary PCE : PCE 157L). Contact engineers for customized formulations.
