VF530 – Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer Powder

High Performance General Purpose Admixture for Dry Mortar & Concrete

VF530 Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer Powder is a white powder-based high-performance superplasticizer and water-reducing agent designed for modern dry-mix mortar and concrete systems. With its high water reduction rate and excellent slump retention performance, VF530 helps improve workability, fluidity, density, and overall application efficiency in cement-based materials. As a versatile powder-based polycarboxylate superplasticizer, VF530 can be applied in a wide range of flowable mortar formulations using different cementitious binder systems. It significantly improves the consistency, flow performance, and quality of mortar and concrete products used in construction and industrial applications. VF530 also demonstrates broad compatibility with other additives commonly used in construction chemical supplies and dry-mix formulations, including early-strength agents, retarders, re-dispersible polymer powders, and defoamers. This compatibility helps manufacturers and contractors achieve more stable and efficient production without negatively affecting mortar performance.
