Neocrete has developed a new type of additive that boosts the performance of abundant, low quality supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), increasing their use, reducing cost and carbon per MPa.
How it works
Neocrete is a new dry powder multi-mechanism additive that boosts the performance of poor quality SCMs. It does this in four key ways:
Molecular activation
Activates dormant cement and pozzolanic particles, increasing the number of active molecules available for bonding.
Water reduction
Delays early hydration reactions.
Reaction acceleration
Accelerates cement hydration and pozzolanic reactions.
Densifying microstructure
Increases the density of molecular bonds
Molecular activation
Benefit
More active bonds mean less cementitious material is required to achieve the same strength.
Impact
Activates dormant cement and pozzolanic particles, increasing the number of active molecules available for bonding.
Water reduction
Benefit
Reduces the free water that does not participate in chemical reactions, thus improving strength and durability.
Impact
Delays early hydration reactions.
Reaction acceleration
Benefit
Accelerated reactions form higher early strength, enabling high-SCM mixes to be used in precast construction.
Impact
Accelerates cement hydration and pozzolanic reactions.
Densifying microstructure
Benefit
More bonds result in tighter microstructure, forming a less permeable matrix, for more durable concrete.
Impact
Increases the density of molecular bonds
MATERIALS WE BOOST
