Admixture For High Performance Concrete

Silica Fume Slurry is a product that, when used in conjunction with a water reducer and superplasticiser, can be used to make high strength and durable concrete, shotcrete (dry and wet) and fiber cements. It can also be used for mortars and grouts. Silica Fume Slurry is compatible with most concrete admixtures used for air entrainment, water reduction and retardation.

Effects On Concrete

Fresh Concrete

  • Increased cohesiveness
  • Improved stability against separation
  • Improved pumpability

Hardened Concrete

  • Increased strength
  • Increased adhesion to rebar and substrates
  • Increased durability of the concrete due to decreased porosity
  • Decreased permeability
  • Increased resistance against aggressives (Chlorides, Sulfates, Gases)
  • Increased electrical resistance
  • Decreased oxygen diffusion
  • Increased protection against rebar corrosion
  • Protection against alkali silica reaction in aggregates

Applications

Silica Fume Slurry has been designed to give the user flexibility of the choice of admixture dosage and the type when making special concrete. It also provides a dust free dosing method as and alternative to silica fume powders.
