CS Densifying Additive

CS is a colloidal silica concentrate for use as an internal part of a concrete mix. It ranges in particle size of 1-100 nanometers. Colloidal silica reacts with the free lime in the concrete matrix to make a more dense surface / mix.

Feaures & Benefits

• Highly reactive suspended crystals fit between cement grains providing a nucleation site for the precipitation of CSH gel
• Accelerates the early strength gain of concrete with minimal affect on initial set
• Improves particle packing at a nano scale, which leads to a denser concrete with less bug holes
• Improves the concrete’s microstructure and reduces water permeability
• Improves compressive and flexural strength 10% - 30% depending on dosage
• Helps eliminate effloresce
• Improves the bond between cement matrix and aggregates, which is especially important in glass mixes
• Improves mix cohesion, allowing a flowable GFRC mix to be sprayed on vertical surfaces, and prevents segregation in highly plasticized mixes
• Five gallons of Trinic CS Densifying Additive is equal to the power of one ton of ordinary pozzolans such as silica fume, Metakaolin, bottle Pozz, or VCAS
• Accelerates the strength gain of concrete containing pozzolans — in many cases 50% or more of the cement can replaced with a pozzolan without the loss of next day strength
• Contains dispersants to prevent clumping
