| Sr.No. | Plasticizer | Superplasticizer |
| 1 | To achieve a higher strength by decreasing the water-cement ratio at the same workability as an admixture free mix. | Superplasticizer by Self-leveling, Self-compacting concrete and also Penetration and compaction round dense reinforcement |
| 2 | To achieve the same workability by decreasing the cement content so as to reduce the heat of hydration in mass concrete. | Improved durability by removing water to reduce permeability and diffusion. |
| 3 | To increase the workability so as to ease placing inaccessible locations | Reduced shrinkage, especially if combined with reduced cement content. |
| 4 | Water reduction of more than 5% but less than 12% | Water reduction of more than 6% but less than 25% |
| 5 | This Plasticizer called water reducer | This Superplasticizer called high range water reducer |
| 6 | It is an additive used to improve the plasticity of a certain substance | It is a water-reducing admixture capable of producing large water reduction or great flammability |
| 7 | This increases the plasticity matricidal such as water reducer in a concrete mixture | This further increases the water requirement for concrete mixture increase the strength and durability of concrete |
| 8 | Add plasticizer 0.1 - 0.5 % weight of cement | Add Superplasticizer 0.5 - 3% weight of cement |
