Concrete countertops: How cement particles are like socks.
In this video, Jeff Girard explains how superplasticizer makes a high quality, low water to cement ratio concrete countertop mix workable, without adding any water. This video provides more detail than our other, shorter superplasticizer demo video. Jeff uses a 0.32 water to cement ratio and BASF’s Melflux 2651 at a dosage of 0.38% of the cement. He also explains how cement particles are like socks. Watch the video to see why!

@MrFcolon You can get superplasticizers generally anywhere water reducers are sold. Superplasticizer is just a term for a high-range water reducer. I recommend Fishstone Concrete Countertop Supply for concrete countertop specific superplasticizers though.
were to get superplasticizers? Very good imformation
Great job. Very informative.
Yes, just water and cement. But, by cement I mean all cementitious materials such as portland cement, fly ash, metakaolin, slag, VCAS, etc.
So does water to cement ratio just include the water and the cement (without the aggregate mix)?
