Costarbex 100
Costarbex 100 is a formulation that combines a plasticizing agent, which enables the use of a reduced water-to-cement ratio, resulting in enhanced strength and durability, with a gas-producing expansion medium. This expansion medium counteracts natural settlement and plastic shrinkage of the grout, promoting stability and cohesion.
Description
Costarbex 100 is a formulation that combines a plasticizing agent, which enables the use of a reduced water-to-cement ratio, resulting in enhanced strength and durability, with a gas-producing expansion medium. This expansion medium counteracts natural settlement and plastic shrinkage of the grout, promoting stability and cohesion.
Features
- Shrinkage compensating
- Costarbex 100 facilitates easy placement of groutby acting as an admixture for cementitious grouts, enhancing cohesion and promoting high early strength development.
- Non-corrosive/non-chloride/non-metallic.
- Good strength gain.
- Low peak exothermic system for large pours.
- Excellent effective bearing area capacity.
- Excellent flow-ability and Non-shrink grout.
- It allows for reduced water-to-cement ratio mixtures, ensuring low permeability and long- term durability in service.
Advantages
- Precision seating of baseplates, Steel Columns and Bearing Plates
- Precision grouting of wind turbine tower bases requiring excellent final strength gain.
- Grouting under equipment, including heavy impact and vibratory machinery, reciprocating engines, compressors, pumps, etc.
- Grouting for “pour-back” anchorage on post tensioning projects (e.g. segmental bridge).
