Type

High-quality, finely ground micro-silica (also known as silica fume) used as a pozzolanic admixture to enhance the properties of concrete by improving its compressive strength, durability, and resistance to environmental elements.

Used Case

• High-strength concrete applications where strength, durability, and resistance to harsh conditions are paramount
• Structural concrete for bridges, tunnels, and industrial floors
• Marine environments – for use in coastal or underwater structures
• High-performance grout formulations requiring reduced permeability
• Used in self-compacting concrete (SCC) and shotcrete applications
• Repair and rehabilitation of damaged concrete structures
• Ideal for precast concrete, high-density concrete, and high-performance mixes

Key Highlights

• Enhances compressive strength – significantly improves concrete strength, especially at later ages
• Reduces permeability – offers increased resistance to water penetration, ideal for structures exposed to water and chemicals
• Improves durability – offers better resistance to sulfate attack, chloride ion penetration, and alkali-silica reaction (ASR)
• Increases the density and workability of concrete, making it easier to finish
• Improved bonding with aggregates for high-performance concrete applications
• Reduces shrinkage in concrete, improving long-term stability
• Environmentally friendly – made from recycled industrial waste, reducing carbon footprint
