Microsilica powder

Construction engineers have given the usage of microsilica in concreting along the seaside some serious thought. Microsilica is increasingly used in industrialized nations to strengthen the mechanical qualities and durability of concrete because of its clear pozzolanic capabilities. Microsilica is produced as a byproduct of making ferrosilicon alloys in the electric arc furnace. With an average particle diameter of 0.1 micron and more than 90% silica in a non-crystalline condition, this material is extremely pozzolanic and ideal for use as a cementitious component in concrete.

The use of microsilica in concrete offers several advantages, such as reducing cement-hydration-related cracks, improving durability against sulfate and acidic water damage, and obtaining high final strengths by utilizing a range of super-lubricants for concrete.

Category:

Construction of sea piers, piles, columns, prefabricated sections, equipment foundations, and any other concrete structures subject to chemical assaults, particularly chlorine and sulfate ions.

 

  • A considerable improvement in the concrete’s mechanical strength
  • Lowering concrete’s permeability
  • Lowering the mobility of the chlorine ions
  • Keeping reinforcement in reinforced concrete from corroding

Like cement, microsilica is applied to the concrete. It can be lowered by the same amount while still using the recommended 10%-15% of the weight of cement.

 

  • You need to use a superlubricant that is compatible with microsilica while utilizing it, preferably 1-SP superlubricant.
