Shrinkage-Reducing Admixtures (SRAs)
Purpose:
Shrinkage-reducing admixtures are designed to minimize the drying shrinkage of concrete.
How do inhibitors work?
Reducing the risk of cracking caused by moisture loss during curing and hardening.
Types:
Glycol-Based Compounds
These compounds help reduce the surface tension of water in concrete, thus minimizing shrinkage and cracking.
Specific Surfactants
Specialized chemical surfactants that alter the surface properties of the concrete to prevent shrinkage-induced cracks.
Application areas:
Slabs
Ideal for use in large concrete slabs where shrinkage could lead to significant cracking.
Precast Elements
Helps to maintain the integrity of precast concrete products during the curing process.
Structures Prone to Shrinkage-Related Cracking
Suitable for projects where shrinkage could cause visible cracks, such as floors, walls, and foundations.
Advantages:
STRENGTH
Increasing the service life of concrete
PROTECTION
Preventing destruction
SAVING
Reducing repair costs
