Advantages
USE OF SILPOZZ
For Strength:
Silpozz has the potential to be used as a substitute silica fumes or micro
silica as a much lower cost, without compromising on the quality aspect. Adding
Silpozz to the concrete mix even in low replacement will dramatically enhance
the workability, strength and impermeability of concrete mixes, while making the
concrete durable to chemical attacks, abrasion and reinforcement corrosion,
increasing the compressive strength by 10% - 20 %.
For water proofing:
Silpozz has excellent water resistance (impermeability) properties and is used
in waterproofing compounds to give amazing results. It reduces the water
penetration by as much as 60 %.
For Better Concrete in Marine environment:
Adding Silpozz to concrete and paints helps to reduce the chloride ion
penetration by as much as 50 % into the structure, thus improving life of the
building.
For Lower heat of Hydration:
Adding Silpozz to concrete lowers the heat of hydration by as much as 30 % and
prevents formation of cracks during casting.
