Microsilica gel is a type of expanded concrete additive and product that includes concrete superplasticizer and powder microsilica and water repellent concrete additives, also known as fibrous microsilica, so that with a high degree of strength, The relative increase in compressive strength, bending and tensile strengths, longer life expectancy, significant impermeability compared to ordinary concrete and higher slump in order to prepare and produce impermeable concrete has a desirable and abundant practical application.
Properties of power gel micro silica:
- Reduce the ratio of water to cement
- Severe dehydration and increased psychological and concrete performance
- Ease of pumping and reduction of depreciation of concreting equipment
- Significant increase in compressive strength over concrete without additives
- Increased tensile and flexural strength of concrete
- 10 to 15 percent reduction in cement grade if necessary
- Prevent the penetration of chlorine ions and other destructive chemical ions
- Significant reduction in water absorption and concrete permeability
- Compatible with a variety of cement
Applications and benefits of power gel micro silica:
- Construction and transportation of concrete in long distances and tropical areas
- Construction of FRC fiber concrete and production of various structures or prefabricated concrete parts
- Concreting in areas under attack by chemical ions
