A liquid admixture based on a suspension of amorphous silica. These ultra fine particles start working as soon as they are incorporated in the mix. The texture of the slurry is similar to cement paste and creates a stable microscopic mineral. This texture provides improved cohesion, lessens porosity and increases “compactness” of the mix.
Features and Benefits
The amorphous silica starts working in a pozzolanic manner as soon as it is incorporated in the cement based mix and as a consequence gives texture to the paste.
This enhanced texture improves the whole rheology of the concrete mix (or mortar) and prevents migration of the water, therefore:
-
Improves Cohesion
-
Reduces pump pressures
-
Reduces the tendency for a mix to segregate
-
Reduces porosity
-
Improves the overall quality of the concrete
-
Corrects a lack of fine elements within a grading curve.
-
Improves surface finish
