Description<\/p>\n
Microsilica gel B.C 121 is used as a mineral additive with special pozzolanic properties to produce concrete with high strength, durability and performance and reduced permeability. This additive compensates for the problems caused by the lack of aggregate filters and improves the performance and workability of concrete and by increasing the micron density of concrete, it reduces the volume of capillary tubes and increases the permeability resistance of concrete. Its properties and performance can be checked with ASTM 1240 and BS EN 12390-8 standards.<\/p>\n
Applications
\nProduction of concrete with high compressive, tensile, flexural and abrasion resistance. Mechanical and chemical.
\nProduction of concrete resistant to environmental corrosion such as chlorine ions and sulfate soils, especially in the northern and southern regions of the country in structures such as docks and ports
\nProduction of waterproof and impermeable concrete such as dam projects, large water storage tanks
\nProduction of concrete for prefabricated parts production factories.
\nStructures exposed to wear such as bridge decks, parking lots and sidewalks.<\/p>\n
Features and Benefits
\nIncrease durability against freeze-thaw cycles
\nIncrease durability in high temperature environments.
\nIncrease durability in the presence of de-icing salts.
\nReduce concrete permeability.
\nReduce cement consumption and heat of hydration.
\nReduce the destructive reaction of alkalis with aggregate.
\nReduce carbonation and the resulting shrinkage.
\nReduce the effect of destructive chemical agents.
\nReduce the severity of reinforcement corrosion
\nIncrease the electrical resistance of concrete.
\nReduce the penetration of destructive agents such as chlorine and hydroxide.
\nIncrease the adhesion between reinforcement and concrete.
\nReduce the joints resulting from shrinkage.
\nReduce the volume, weight and cost of the structure and increase the durability and life of the structure.
\nIncrease the modulus of elasticity and rapid pozzolanic reaction.
\nReduces water loss and improves pumpability.<\/p>\n
How to use<\/p>\n
The amount of consumption varies from 5% to 8% of the weight of cement depending on whether it is desired to increase the strength or increase the useful life and durability of the concrete. (5 to 8 kg for 100 kg of cement)
\nThe microsilica gel product can be added to the concrete components both in batching and in the truck mixer. For better results, first stir the contents of the container thoroughly until the product becomes uniform and then add to the mixture in several stages.<\/p>\n
Microsilica Gel B.C 121, also known as a concrete supplement, is an advanced modified concrete admixture based on concrete lubricants, microsilica, silica and polypropylene fibers. This material is widely used in the construction industry due to the numerous benefits it brings to concrete.<\/p>\n
The most important applications of B.C 121 microsilica gel are:<\/p>\n
Increasing the compressive and flexural strength of concrete: Microsilica gel significantly increases the compressive and flexural strength of concrete by filling the pores of concrete and creating strong bonds between cement particles and aggregate. This makes concrete more resistant to heavy loads and stresses and prevents it from cracking and crumbling.
\nIncreasing the durability and stability of concrete: Microsilica gel significantly increases the durability and stability of concrete by reducing its permeability to water and chemicals. This makes concrete more resistant to damaging environmental factors such as frost, sulfates and chlorides and increases its lifespan.
\nReducing the permeability of concrete: Microsilica gel significantly reduces its permeability by filling the pores of concrete. This makes concrete more impermeable to water and chemicals and prevents reinforcement corrosion and rusting.
\nIncrease the workability and fluidity of concrete: Silica gel with its lubricating properties significantly increases the workability and fluidity of concrete. This makes it easier to pour concrete into molds and prevents air bubbles in it.
\nReduce concrete cracking: Silica gel increases the flexibility of concrete, preventing it from cracking due to various factors such as ground settlement, vibration and temperature changes.
\nReinforcement of concrete structures: Silica gel can be used to reinforce existing concrete structures against earthquakes, storms and other natural disasters.
\nManufacture of high-performance concrete: Silica gel is used to manufacture high-performance concrete such as self-compacting concrete, high-strength concrete and waterproof concrete.<\/p>\n
