DRACRIL 1000

DRACRIL 1000 is an admixture specially developed to obtain concrete with low water-to-cement ratio and accelerated strength development at a short curing period.‎ DRACRIL 1000 is ideal for the preparation of durable cohesive concrete.‎ Advantages: It can be used to produce high-performance concrete with low W/C-ratios (0.‎4); Maintains consistency for over an hour, depending on the A/C ratio and type of cement; The high dosage on the weight of the cement allows to obtain special concretes such as HPc or RPc, with the addition of FILLCRETE or fly ash; Development of high mechanical resistance to short curing even with a reduced thermal cycle It can produce long-term concrete particularly resistant to aggressive agents; It allows to reduce installation costs; Facilitates casting in thin sections even if strongly reinforced; Eliminates the problem of segregation and bleeding, increasing homogeneity and cohesion; Reduces concrete vibration times; Improve the quality of concrete; Better surface finish, given the reduced incorporation of air macro-bubbles; Reduces creep rates and hygrometric shrinkage, but it increases the adhesion to reinforcement bars.‎ Uses: High-strength ready-mixed concrete with the possible addition of silica fume, fly ash, blast furnace slag, etc; Artifacts in reinforced concrete with a very low A/C ratio, resistant to attack by aggressive agents (chlorides, sulphates, carbon dioxide); Casts of structures with thin cross sections; Fiber-reinforced concrete with FIBERMIX steel fibers and synthetic FIBERFlEX S, FIBERGLASS; Shrinkage-compensating concrete along with the use of expansive agent EXPAN 25; Self-compacting concrete in combination with rheological additive VISCOCONTROL; Shotcrete: in synergy with the accelerators of the DRANITE line, it is possible to produce very fast hardening cement conglomerates.‎ Further info from manufacturer on DRACRIL 1000 DRACO
