Every project demands something different from concrete. Climate, schedule, and structural design all shape how a mix needs to perform. At Superior Materials, we tailor admixture solutions, including water reducers, accelerators, retarders, corrosion inhibitors, and air‑entraining agents, to give each mix the control and reliability it needs in the field. From managing set times in Michigan’s changing weather to achieving the precise slump a specification calls for, our team ensures consistency from the first load to the last.
We work with trusted industry partners to supply admixtures that meet American Society for Testing and Materials’ standards and complement sustainable practices. These materials help strengthen finished structures, improve surface quality, and extend service life. Whether a project calls for greater flow, higher strength, or a smoother finish, Superior Materials provides concrete admixtures in Michigan that deliver confidence and performance on every pour.

introduce microscopic air bubbles into the mix, increasing resistance to freeze-thaw cycles, improving workability, and reducing bleeding and segregation. In Michigan, where freeze-thaw conditions are a seasonal constant, this is one of the most practical tools in a mix design.
lower the water content of a mix without sacrificing slump, which translates directly to higher compressive strength. They also allow for increased workability when needed without adjusting the water-cement ratio.
are a high-range class of water reducers used when standard reduction is not enough. They are essential for self-consolidating concrete, pump mixes, and applications with congested steel reinforcement where the mix needs to flow without vibration and without losing strength.
delay the initial set, primarily in hot weather conditions where heat accelerates hydration faster than crews can place and finish. Using a retarder buys the time a pour actually needs.
do the opposite, shortening the set time for cold-weather pours or fast-track schedules where early strength gain is critical. We carry both calcium chloride for non-reinforced applications and non-chloride accelerators for reinforced concrete or sub-freezing conditions where corrosion is a concern.
Beyond the core five, we supply a range of specialty admixtures that protect, control, and enhance specific concrete properties. These include corrosion-inhibiting admixtures, crystalline waterproofing, water-resistance and efflorescence control, moisture control for interior flooring, viscosity-modifying admixtures, and silica fume.
For added durability, Superior Materials offers a full range of high-performance fibers designed to reduce cracking and shrinkage while enhancing long-term flexural performance. Our fiber options meet ASTM and ICC requirements and are ideal for industrial floors, flatwork, precast, and shotcrete applications. Fibers create a three-dimensional reinforcement system within the mix, providing uniform, efficient crack control that works from the inside out.
is an economy-grade option that functions as plastic shrinkage reinforcement. It is easy to finish and requires no mix design or placement changes, making it a practical add for a wide range of flatwork applications.
steps up performance with heavy-duty twisted-bundle construction made from synthetic copolymer. It improves load transfer and post-crack performance in applications where shrinkage control alone is not enough.
is a viable alternative to wire mesh and light-gauge steel reinforcement. Designed for shrinkage reinforcement, it reduces settlement cracking and delivers higher energy absorption, particularly useful in industrial slabs and pavements.
Our technical specialists can help you select the right fiber type and dosage for your specific application.
