Permissible Range for Using Silicamorf 90 in Concrete:
The permissible range of using Silicamorf 90 is from 5 to 10% by weight of cement (5 to 10 kilograms per hundred kilograms of cement). The optimal amount of this additive should be determined based on the mixture design specifications, execution conditions, environmental factors, and ultimately by producing experimental mixes. In the presence of reactive silica aggregates in the concrete, the minimum consumption quantity of the product in the laboratory needs to be determined.
How to Mix Silicamorf 90 with concrete:
Silicamorf 90 should be added at the concrete production site (batching) and during the mixing of concrete components. Additionally, the following points need to be observed:
- After adding this product, the concrete should be thoroughly mixed for 2 to 5 minutes to ensure the uniform distribution of this material in the concrete.
- Silica fume powder should not be added to the ready-mixed concrete truck.
- It is recommended that Silicamorf 90 be mixed well with water and the microsilica dispersing agent Zetanul SF by Capco Company before adding it to the concrete. This ensures a uniform mixture and maximizes the product’s effectiveness in the concrete.
