When you are up to achieve outstanding results while keep your project on schedule, precast concrete admixtures help you maximize your project’s potential while making sure everything stays on its timeline.
What is Precast Concrete?
Precast concrete is being made by pouring concrete into a mold that has a pre-stressed wire, it is then cured off-site in a controlled area usually at a plant. Once done, the concrete elements will then be transported to a construction site. This type of using concrete concrete is much faster, safer and more affordable compared to standard poured concrete, and is used in the Construction Industry whevere applicable in order to save cost and time. In making precast concrete specific concrete admixtures are used to improve the finished elements quality and speed of their making.
Corrotech Construction Chemicals offers the range of corromix admixtures for precast concrete products available as part of their comprehensive concrete admixtures range.
Types of Precast Concrete Admixtures
Accelerators - This admixture helps to accelerate the setting and hardening process of a concrete by controlling the hydration process of the cement. The major benefits of using accelerators include improving early strengths, and the possibility of concreting in low temperatures.
Superplasticizers - Superplasticizers will remove huge amounts of mixing water in order to achieve low water-cement ratios while still providing high workability. This admixture does not only increase the strength and durability of the concrete, but also helps in the early stripping of formwork in a matter of hours due to the addition of set accelerators.
Semi Dry Admixtures - This type of precast admixture in concrete allow optimal water contents to be used in order to achieve the best compaction possible. Increase in compaction commonly leads to a better green strength, economical production of quality score and early final strength.
Waterproofers - Waterproofers promote a better reduction in efflorescence by reducing the capillary water absorption as well as increasing compaction, which usually leads to less efflorescence and improved durability.
