DESCRIPTION
Concrete utilizing GK-UEA will expand moderately. Under the constraints of reinforcing steel, it can turn into a certain compressive stress to offset the tensile stress produced of concrete shrinkage, which is the so-called crack shrinkage compensation to achieve.
USES
It is used in cement-based building materials, especially suitable for concrete works of anti-crack, anti-seepage, joint, filling, such as all kinds of pools, underground waterproofing works, dam backfill slot backfill, mortar waterproof layer and other concrete (mortar), etc.
CHARACTERISTICS
GK-UEA offers the following advantages:
* High expansion efficiency and effective concrete shrinkage compensation;
* Reduce shrinkage and improve the durability of concrete;
* Good compatibility with common concrete admixtures and minerals, no negative effect on the construction performance of concrete;
* No corrosive effect on reinforcement.
