Basic concrete is made from just four key components: small rocks, sand, Portland cement, and water. The Portland cement acts as the binder that binds the sand and rocks together. When water is mixed with these materials, a chemical reaction begins, causing the formation of countless microscopic Portland cement crystals. These crystals weave through the [...]
Concrete is a fundamental component in buildings and infrastructure worldwide. Yet, to meet the diverse demands of modern engineering projects, its innate characteristics often require enhancement. Concrete admixtures provide these essential enhancements, tailoring the concrete's properties to improve its performance under a variety of conditions. Understanding Concrete Admixtures Concrete admixtures are specially formulated ingredients added [...]
Concrete admixtures greatly improve the performance, durability, and appearance of concrete, whether used in driveways, skyscrapers or wharves. These admixtures allow you to customise the concrete’s properties to meet specific project needs, for example, accelerating setting times in cold climates or boosting resistance to environmental and chemical stresses. Without the availability of admixtures for cement, [...]
Whilst you might know that corrosion inhibiting admixtures protect concrete and steel reinforcement, understanding exactly how they do this makes it much easier to select the right one for your project. So, let’s take a look at how corrosion inhibitor admixtures for concrete structures prevent reinforcement corrosion: understanding corrosion, types of admixtures, mechanisms of protection, [...]
What are corrosion-inhibiting admixtures? Well, it’s no surprise that concrete is the backbone of modern infrastructure, so protecting it from corrosion is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity and longevity of buildings, bridges and concrete structures. Addressing concrete corrosion is even more critical in Australia, where diverse environmental conditions range from humid coastlines to arid [...]
In contemporary construction, ensuring the durability and longevity of concrete structures is essential from both a cost and a safety perspective. Achieving these critical objectives often hinges on the strategic use of admixtures for cement structures, specialised compounds that have become integral to the construction industry. These admixtures come in a range of formulations and [...]
Corrosion is a significant concern for reinforced concrete structures, especially in environments exposed to harsh elements. To combat this issue and extend the lifespan of concrete, corrosion-inhibiting admixtures have been developed. There are different types of admixtures, however, with different functions. So, let’s take a closer look at some of the corrosion inhibitor admixtures for [...]
If you want to change the properties of concrete, you need to use admixtures. That’s because concrete is composed of cement, water and aggregate, with admixtures typically added immediately before or during the mixing process. There are lots of additives for cement, for example, there are admixtures for high-strength concrete, faster-setting concrete, water-repellent concrete, corrosion-resistant [...]
Concrete is a testament to modern construction's achievements, playing a pivotal role in structures worldwide. Renowned for its remarkable strength and adaptability, it has shaped skylines and been the backbone of infrastructural marvels. Yet, for all its prowess, concrete isn't without its vulnerabilities. Its porous character can often be its undoing, allowing moisture to seep [...]
Concrete is one of the world's most widely used construction materials, prized for its durability, strength, and versatility. However, like any other material, it’s prone to deterioration. One of the primary reasons for the degradation of concrete structures is the corrosion of the embedded steel reinforcements. Corrosion inhibitors are crucial in mitigating this problem, but [...]
