Usage Areas
- In pumpless and pumped ready-mixed concrete production,
- In the production of wet shotcrete,
- In the production of precast and prefabricated concrete,
- In the production of prestressed concrete with low water/cement ratio,
- It is used where early formwork is required, and in rheoplastic concretes that can be easily placed on frequently reinforced concrete elements.
Advantages
- Compared to unfilled concrete, it reduces the amount of water by at least 12% by weight.
- Compared to unfilled concrete, it provides lower water/cement ratio with the same workability or high workability and easy pumpability with the same water/cement ratio.
- Compared to unfilled concrete, it increases their early and final strength.
- Compared to unfilled concrete, it increases the compressive and flexural strength of concrete.
- Compared to unfilled concrete, it reduces the formwork removal time.
- By reducing decomposition and perspiration, it increases the wear resistance of concrete.
- Increases the resistance of concrete to the Freeze and Thaw cycle.
- It improves other mechanical properties of concrete such as impermeability, permanence, shrinkage and creep.
- It settles with less vibration even in densely reinforced concrete structures.
- It does not contain chlorine.
