Industrial fl ooring made of concrete is an integral part of industrial construction. Since
these fl oors must withstand heavy mechanical loads over the long term, the concrete
used must have especially high performance properties to meet to these high requirements.
In the last years there have been many reports on damage found on industrial fl oors
that was traced to errors during the production of these construction elements. In
some cases, the cause of damage was attributed to the use of PCE based super plasticizers
when producing the concrete. As a consequence, these products were expressly
excluded from being used for the construction of industrial fl ooring in some tenders.
However, in the past years PCE based super plasticizers have proved to be reliable
products in practically all areas of concrete construction and they are also highly suitable
for use when constructing industrial fl ooring.
