KRYSTALINE Add1 HD main features
- Krystaline Add1 HD is a next generation, very low dosage crystalline admixture.
- Available in predosed 1 kg water soluble bags to be added directly to the concrete mix.
- Designed for fast setting mix designs.
- Unique solution for low w/c concretes with high doses of PCE superplasticizer.
- Waterproofs and improves the durability of concrete using hydrophilic, hydration enhancing, crystalline technology.
KRYSTALINE Add1 HD application
- Krystaline Add1 HD is a dry powder that is added directly to the concrete during mixing. The dosage rate is 1 kg per m³ of concrete. Reduce the water component by approximately 8 to 12% to achieve equal slumps on most mix designs (subject to mix design and raw material components). Even though the concrete will look less wet than most concrete mixes, it will provide an increased workability resulting and increased productivity.
- Prior testing is recommended.
- Contact a Krystaline representative for more detailed application instructions.
