Icrete is latest technology based concrete additive for enhancing durability of concrete.
When added to concrete Icrete reacts with intermediate phases of Cement/cementitious materials and these reactions result in increase of strength, durability of concrete.
Icrete conforms to ASTM C1797. Icrete also conforms to IS 2645 as a waterproofing compound.
No . It is not a pozzolonic material .This is mixture of carefully selected minerals and specialty additives.
By using Icrete, we can reduce Cement/cementitious contents. We can increase use of Pozzolonic materials. The concretes become more durable and greener.
Icrete helps in formation of additional binding phases, which reduces the pore size of capillaries & hence enhances impermeability of concrete. Many times we have seen more than 50% reduction in permeability by using Icrete.
The product is capable of increasing performance with reduced Cement/ cementitious contents. The product is not very fine material and has the surface fineness closer to normal cement. The product works at low dosages to give high performance.
The normal dosage of Icrete is 0.7% to 1.5%. But when we are using this for High strength, High Performance Concretes we need to use at 2% to 2.5%.
NO. The product does not have any effect on workability. But with some rare cement chemistry, slump may slightly reduce, which need to be enhanced using superplasticisers.
Yes. Icrete can be used in conjunction with any Pozzolonic material to make better blended concretes.
