How can a multi-benefit admixture help your project?
Moisture causes problems in concrete. You probably already knew that. Moisture provides a transport system for corrosives and contaminants to penetrate the porosity of the concrete.
These corrosives can reach the reinforcing steel and cause rusting. This leads to unsightly staining, cracking, pop-outs and in the long term, a hazardous structure needing costly repairs.
Moisture-borne contaminants can also react with the concrete itself, causing degenerative conditions such as ASR/AAR or DEF.
You can protect concrete from moisture-borne hazards, from day 1.
CONQOR B50 is an advanced and cost-effective concrete admixture, which provides integral waterproofing and corrosion protection to concrete structures.
CONQOR B50 forms a hydrogel within the pore structure of the concrete, minimising moisture loss during the curing stage, and preventing ingress and migration of moisture and debilitating substances throughout the life of the concrete.
Four-way protection from day 1
- 1. Waterproofing
- 2. Heat of Hydration Control
- 3. Shrinkage Reduction
- 4. Self Healing
(More details on each of these benefits can be found here)
And there’s more …
CONQOR B50 is a truly unique admixture, sustainably sourced, with multiple benefits for the concrete placers, the construction contractor, and the end user.
- At the time of pour, CONQOR B50 provides enhanced workability for a better placement experience and is very useful for awkward placements and small cavities where higher slump is required with minimal strength losses.
- Improves density and increases compressive, flexural and tensile strengths.
- 100% environmentally friendly and nil VOC, sustainably sourced from a thermal energy byproduct. EPD available.
- Ideal for concrete in corrosive environments and for vital elements in a structure which cannot afford deterioration in the long term; for example, bridges, wharves, precast panels, swimming pools, tanks and below-ground members which could be exposed to corrosive substances.
