Chryso®Force 10,000 is a dry densified microsilica (silica fume) powder designed to increase concrete compressive and flexural strengths, increase durability, reduce permeability and improve hydraulic abrasion-erosion resistance. It can be used to consistently produce concrete with strengths of 50 MPa and higher in most instances with locally available materials and existing methods. It may also be used in precast and prestress applications where high early strengths are required.

The addition of Chryso®Force 10,000 also produces concrete with increased watertightness and dramatically reduced permeability compared to conventional mixes. Reduced permeability is an important advantage in slowing the intrusion of chloride where corrosion of reinforcing steel is a potential problem. Examples are parking garages, bridge decks, concrete in a marine environment, and concrete exposed to aggressive chemical attacks and in hydraulic abrasion-erosion applications.

Force® 10,000D A

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.
