The Rhine, which flows through Switzerland, Germany, France and the Netherlands, is an important shipping channel in Europe, and tens of millions of tons of goods are transported between countries through the Rhine every year. The persistent drought and lack of rain in Europe this summer has led to a drop in the water level of the Rhine, which has seriously affected shipping and exacerbated the energy crisis in Europe.

Argentina's economy minister and director of the National Social Security Agency recently announced that pensions for most of the country's retirees will rise by 15.53% from September. In addition, starting from September, retirees will receive an additional grant for three consecutive months, ranging from 4000 Argentine pesos to 7000 Argentine pesos.

It is understood that the range of people who can enjoy the pension increase is limited to those whose monthly income does not exceed twice the minimum social average wage (43353 Argentine pesos), which is expected to cover 85 per cent of the country's retirees.

The minister of economy said the increase in pensions is to help people cope with rising prices brought about by inflation. Argentina's monthly inflation rate in July has not yet been announced, and several agencies expect it to reach about 8 per cent, while Argentina's annual inflation rate is likely to exceed 100 per cent by the end of the year.

Because of the turbulent international situation, the supply and prices of many international bulk concrete additive are still very uncertain.

At first, concrete additives were used only to save cement. With the development of construction technology, admixture has become the main measure to improve the performance of concrete.

What are advantages of concrete additives?

It can reduce the water consumption of concrete. Or the fluidity of concrete can be increased without increasing water consumption.

The setting time of concrete can be adjusted.

Reduce bleeding and segregation. Improve workability and water elutriation resistance.

The slump loss can be reduced. Increase the pumpability of pumping concrete.

It can reduce contraction. The addition of expansive agent can also compensate for shrinkage.

Delay the initial hydration heat of concrete. Reduce the temperature rise rate of mass concrete and reduce the occurrence of cracks.

Improve the early strength of concrete. Prevent freezing at negative temperature.

Improve strength, increase frost resistance, impermeability, wear resistance, corrosion resistance.

Control alkali-aggregate reaction. Prevent the corrosion of steel bar and reduce the diffusion of chloride ion.

Made into concrete with other special properties.

Reduce the viscosity coefficient of concrete.

Where are concrete admixtures used?

1. It is suitable for mass concrete, high-strength and high-performance concrete, roller compacted concrete, concrete constructed in hot weather, concrete poured in a large area, concrete produced by cold joints, concrete that needs to be parked or transported for a long time, self-leveling vibration-free concrete, slip form construction or horizontal construction and other concrete that needs to delay setting time.

2. It is suitable for different grades of concrete under the daily minimum temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, as well as various continuous pouring projects of high flow concrete, commercial concrete, pumping concrete, prestress and reinforced concrete.

3. It is not suitable to be used alone for concrete with early strength requirements and steam curing concrete.

With the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the market is increasingly worried about the potential disruption of Russia's energy supply. Geopolitical premiums have pushed up the price of crude oil and natural gas, and the energy price is expected to remain high in the short term. Affected by this, the market price of the concrete additive may continue to rise.
