Force® 10,000D A

Densified Silica Fume - Powder

Description

Force® 10,000D A is a dry densified micro-silica powder designed to increase concrete compressive and flexural strengths, increase durability, reduce permeability and improve hydraulic abrasion-erosion resistance. The extremely fine micro-silica particles can fill the microscopic voids between the cement particles.

It creates a less permeable structure. In addition, the micro-silica reacts with the free calcium hydroxide within the concrete to form additional calcium silicate hydrate binder, producing a tighter paste-to-aggregate bond. Force® 10,000D A complies with AS/NZS 3582.3:2016.

Application areas

  • Precast and prestress concrete
  • Hydraulic abrasion-erosion and shotcrete
  • Central or transit mix concrete production
  • High strength concrete with 50 – 100 MPa
  • Parking garages, bridge decks and concrete in a marine environment

Benefits

  • Increased water-tightness and reduced permeability compared to conventional mixes
  • Enhanced durability against chemical attacks
  • Minimizes re-bound
