Product Description
Gelted silica gel improves the properties of hardened concrete by eliminating the environmental hazards associated with the use of silica fume (in powder form) and by providing a more uniform dispersion in the concrete.
The effects of gelled microsilica material after use in concrete can be analyzed with the following standards: BS EN 12390-8, BS 1881-122:
Properties and effects
- Reducing cement content in concrete
- Increasing mechanical strength
- Reducing permeability of concrete
- Ease of pumping and reducing wear and tear of concreting equipment
- Compatibility with various cements
- Increasing electrical resistance of concrete
- Increasing abrasion resistance of concrete
- Preventing penetration of chlorine ions and other chemically destructive ions into concrete
- Reducing cracks in concrete compared to use in powder form
- Increasing durability of concrete
- Can be used simultaneously with various types of lubricants
Applications
- High-strength, impermeable, durable and stable concrete
- Reinforced and unreinforced concrete
- Concrete for marine structures, water transfer channels and treatment plants
- Construction of high-strength concrete to reduce the dimensions of structures
- Construction of concrete that requires minimum electrical conductivity
- Suitable for making concrete exposed to explosion
Consumption amount
Depending on the environmental conditions of the construction site and concreting and the required strengths, the consumption amount is determined by workshop tests It will be determined. This amount will be about 1 to 3 percent of the weight of the cement used.
Usage method
BA155 microsilica gel can be added to concrete in two ways
- After all the components of the concrete are completely mixed
- Mix with all or part of the concrete mixing water and add to the concrete mixture
