Shrinkage Compensating

Service Details:

A high performance concrete additive, Shrinkage Compensating - Avcrete SCC is suitable for shrinkage compensation in concrete. Specifically developed for concretes which have high surface area to volume ratio, this comprises of a blend of alumino-silicates and polymers. It does not contain any expansive additive and it reduces the shrinkage strain in concrete.

Advantages:

• Improves concrete rheological properties
• Enhances the workability of the floor
• It produces cohesive concrete
• It gives creaminess in concrete
• Imparts excellent finishing textures
• Cement in concrete mix can be reduced by 4 to 6% of total cementitious content

Uses:

• Used for providing shrinkage reduction in concrete and minimizes surface level variation in concrete floors post cure
• Used to provide creaminess in concrete mix in order to make the floor surface dense and suitable for trowel application

Dosage:

• 3.5 to 6.0 % by weight of cementitious content (dependent on the type of application)

Compatibility:

• Compatible with most of the admixtures, however pre-testing is advised
