A concrete mix can only be classified as Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) if the same is able to flow under its own weight and completely fill the formwork. even in the presence of dense reinforcement. without the need of any vibration, whilst maintaining homogeneity. More technically, sec should meet the requirements for filling ability, passing ability and segregation resistance, as mentioned in below table:
Nirman Chemicals Limited offers NIROCRETE ULTIMA range of concrete admixtures, having a unique proprietary molecular structure of PCE, to fulfil the above mentioned requirement of Self Compacting Concrete.
NIROCRETE ULTIMA with combination of NIROCRETE VMA (Viscosity Modifying Admixture), if required,
perfect solution of Self Compacting Concrete (SCC), it produces extremely fluid as well as cohesive concrete, which is very easy and fast to pour and place without vibration. The concrete moves effortlessly, even through intricate formwork and dense reinforcement, without bleeding or segregation.
The outstanding properties and advantages of use of NIROCRETE ULTIMA range admixture are of considerable
benefit to everyone involved in the project:
…………. Contractors, Specifies and Clients.
Improves Productivity and Placing Process:
- Faster construction
- Reduction in site manpower and equipment costs·
- Faster and Easier placing
- Thinner concrete sections
- Faster turnaround of formwork and moulds
Improves Quality and Durability:
- Greater freedom in design
- Better surface finishes
- Reduce rejection
- Improve durability
Improves Health and Safety:
- Reduced noise levels, absence of vibration
- Safer working environment
- Less disturbance of other trades or neighbors
Main Applications:
Self-Compacting Concrete is highly suitable for concreting subjected to congested reinforcement and where the possibility of using vibrators for compacting concrete is limited, like,
- Residential or commercial high-rise towers
- Multi-tower complexes
- Suitable for thin section concreting
- Architectural elements having intricate formwork
- Where concrete requires limited finishing after de-shuttering
