Trinic CS Densifying Additive 22.73 & 4.54 Ltrs
Trinic CS is a colloidal silica concentrate for use as an internal part of a concrete mix. It ranges in particle size of 1-100 nanometres. Colloidal silica reacts with the free lime in the concrete matrix to make a denser surface / mix.
Highly reactive suspended crystals fit between cement grains providing a nucleation site for the precipitation of CSH gel
Accelerates the early strength gain of concrete with minimal effect on initial set
Improves particle packing at a nano scale, which leads to a denser concrete with less bug holes
Improves the concrete’s microstructure and reduces water permeability
Improves compressive and flexural strength 10% - 30% depending on dosage
Helps eliminate effloresce
Improves the bond between cement matrix and aggregates, which is especially important in glass mixes
Improves mix cohesion, allowing a flowable GFRC mix to be sprayed on vertical surfaces, and prevents segregation in highly plasticized mixes
Five gallons of Trinic CS Densifying Additive is equal to the power of one ton of ordinary pozzolans such as silica fume, Metakaolin, bottle Pozz, or VCAS
Accelerates the strength gain of concrete containing pozzolans — in many cases 50% or more of the cement can replaced with a pozzolan without the loss of next day strength
Contains dispersants to prevent clumping
