Normal Microsilica Gel

Description

Normal Microsilica Gel

Normal Microsilica Gel is an advanced and modified additive based on polycarboxylate ether, consisting of microsilica powder, polycarboxylate superplasticizer, water-repellent materials, and polypropylene fibers. This gel is specifically used for producing high-strength, impermeable, and durable concrete. The paste-like additive significantly improves concrete’s strength, stability, and other properties, helping to increase concrete density and enhance compressive, flexural, and tensile strengths.

Using this normal microsilica gel in concrete mix designs allows for the simultaneous incorporation of silica fume, fibers, and plasticizers into the concrete mixture. This results in improved density and reduced water consumption, leading to enhanced mechanical and chemical properties of the concrete.

Features Normal Microsilica Gel

• Improvement of rheological properties of concrete in a plastic state
• Significant reduction in surface cracking of concrete
• Reduction of cement consumption by 15 to 20 percent
• Reduction in the water-to-cement ratio
• Easier pumping and reduced wear on concrete pouring equipment
• Increased tensile, compressive, and flexural strength of concrete
• Prevention of cracks caused by thermal stresses
• Protection against corrosion of rebar and steel
• Prevention of segregation and bleeding in concrete
• Creation of a perfectly smooth and exposed surface
• Reduction of permeability against sulfate attack, water, and chloride ions
• Increased abrasion and electrical resistance of concrete
• Production of homogeneous and fully plastic concrete
• Enhanced durability and resistance of concrete to freeze-thaw cycles
• Increased workability without the need for superplasticizers
• Strengthening of mechanical resistance of concrete
• Easier execution and pumping of concrete
• Creation of a smooth and uniform surface in concrete

How to use

This gel can be added to concrete in two ways:

1. Combine with all or part of the mixing water, then add to the dry materials and mix them.
2. Add this concrete superplasticizer to the mix after all other components have been added.

Note: For every cubic meter of concrete, a minimum of 1 minute of mixing and blending is required.

Note: If there is a significant delay between mixing and pouring the concrete, it is recommended to add the microsilica gel in two stages. (Add one portion during batching and the other 5 minutes before pouring into the mixer). After adding, mix the mixture for 2 to 4 minutes thoroughly.
