Chemrite Slag

Chemrite Slag
Additive For Durable, High Strength Concrete and Mortar.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Product Description Chemrite Slag is a powerful eco-friendly additive derived from
ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS). It is a non-metallic
product, consisting essentially of silicates and alumino silicates
whose addition results in stronger & more durable concrete and
mortars.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Uses Chemrite Slag is suitable for:
-- Marine & Harbour concrete
-- Corrosion – resistant concrete in saline environment.
-- Prevention of alkali – aggregate reaction
-- Low heat of hydration in mass concrete
-- Pumped concrete with reduced slump loss
-- Self-compacting concrete with no segregation or bleeding
-- Cementitious mortars resistant to moisture and aggressive
chemicals.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Advantages The presence of Chemrite Slag in concrete imparts greatly
improved internal cohesion and water retention. The crystallising
formation produces a significantly more dense matrix, resulting
in high strength, durable concrete. By adding Chemrite Slag
with high range water-reducing superplasticizers, the concrete
will show the following improved properties.
-- Excellent workability
-- Increased durability
-- High early strength
-- Increased ultimate strength
-- Increased resistance to abrasion
-- Highly increased water tightness
-- Prevention of reinforcement corrosion due to reduced
chloride diffusion.

Dosage Range 25-70% by weight of cement. Chemrite Slag is compatible with
all types of cement. For optimum results in concrete, field trials
are recommended. Always use high-range water reducing
admixtures in conjunction with Chemrite Slag.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Mixing Chemrite Slag is added to the dry mix at the batching plant
before the gauging water, optimum mixing time: 90 seconds.
The water should be adjusted alongwith the superplasticise to
suit the dosage of Chemrite Slag for workability, set retardation
and strength requirements.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Important Chemrite Slag concrete coating should be handled and placed in
the same way as conventional mixes. Standard good concreting
practice should be observed throughout, and proper curing
procedures should be initiated after placement.
