SURECRETE can be used in concrete to achieve the following benefits:
Reduced heat of hydration for mass concrete.
Resistance to sulphate attack is improved.
Resistance to alkali-silica reaction (ASR) where reactive aggregates are used.
Reduced soft water attack, chloride penetration and subsequent corrosion of reinforcing.
Improved water retaining properties.
Improved workability during placing which enhances off-shutter finish and concrete pumpability.
Caution and good curing is required where large surfaces and thin sections are exposed to the elements at early stages. Any combination of dry, windy and hot conditions increase the risk of cracks developing in thin sections. Examples of thin sections are: concrete pavements, floor slabs, plaster and floor screeds. PPC SURECRETE is compatible with commercial admixtures. SURECRETE, Can also be used in mortar and plaster applications, provided a richer mix than normal is used.
