DRACO

DRACRIL XTIME is a particularly suitable admixture for the production of ready-mix concrete in hot climates where you want to achieve maximum control of Slump Loss.‎ DRACRIL XTIME allows you to manufacture high performance concretes characterised by a very low water-cement ratio and excellent rheological qualities and cohesion even in the more fluid consistency classes.‎ Advantages: It can be used to produce high-performance concrete in hot climates with low W/C ratios (0.‎4) and superfluid consistency (S5) so as to increase its life cycle; It keeps its consistency features unchanged for an hour according to the W/C ratio and cement type used; If you add FILLCRETE (Silica Fume) or fl y ash, a larger proportion of DRACRIL XTIME than the weight of the concrete, you can produce special kinds of concrete, such as HPC concrete and RPC concrete; The resulting concrete develops high mechanical strength to short curing even if its heat cycle is short; It can produce long-term concrete particularly resistant to aggressive agents; It can cut down on the costs for concrete casting because it increases workability time; It makes it easy to cast concrete into thin cross sections even if many reinforcement bars are in place; It helps avoid segregation and bleeding, but it makes concrete stiffer and more homogeneous; It takes less time to vibrate concrete or, in the case of self-compacting concrete, it can give the chance to skip the concrete vibration process if it is used in combination with VISCOCONTROL.‎ In this way if offers great technical application advantages and it reduces the exposure to noise; It improves the quality of concrete for quarry faces and the concrete-iron adhesion, but it also increases the abrasion resistance of every concrete mix; It ensures a better surface fi nishing and it reduces the amount of trapped air bubbles; It reduces creep rates and hygrometric shrinkage, but it increases the adhesion to reinforcement bars.‎  Uses: High-resistance concrete later supplemented with silica fume, fly ash, slag additives, etc;  Ready-mixed concrete in hot climates and long-distance transport; Concrete handwork with very low W/C-ratios and resistant to aggressive agents, such as chlorides, sulphates, carbon dioxide;  Casts of structures with thin cross sections; Concrete reinforced with steel fibre FIBERMIX;  Shrinkage-compensating concrete along with the use of expansive agent EXPAN 25; Self-compacting concrete in combination with rheological additive VISCOCONTROL.‎
