DESCRIPTION

Shrinkage is the reduction in concrete volume (contraction) that occurs without loading, mainly due to water loss and cement hydration. It can lead to cracking, allowing harmful substances to enter and reducing durability. NIROSAFE SRA is a liquid shrinkage-reducing admixture that lowers both autogenous and drying shrinkage without affecting the concrete’s strength. It works by chemically reducing capillary forces and contains no expansive materials.

USES

  • Floors, Walls and foundations
  • Silos and concrete pipes
  • Bridge decks and parking garages
  • Watertight structures (e.g., water tanks, swimming pools, reservoirs, sewage treatment plants)
  • Underground construction
  • Suitable for use in ready-mix, precast, and prestressed concrete, as well as in mortar, grout, and wet-mix shotcrete

ADVANTAGES

  • Effectively reduces autogenous and drying shrinkage
  • Compatible with all cement types, maintains strength
  • Minimizes crack widths for enhanced durability
  • Allows increased joint spacing in slabs
  • VOC-free (Class A+) – safe for indoor use
  • No impact on superplasticizer dosage
  • Suitable for various surface finishes
  • Provides a harder, dust-free surface
  • Easy to use and cost-effective
  • Helps reduce labor costs.
