FOR THE HIGHLY TECHNICAL How does Mix Water Conditioner improve concrete?
Initially, Mix Water Conditioner in the mix water, greatly decreases Portland cement potency loss and its adverse effects caused by dilution and hydrolysis during mix water introduction. A reduction in initial cement potency loss significantly improves hydrolysis by-product quality, specifically, the subsequently produced calcium hydroxide residue, and ultimately concrete’s hydrated silicates. During mix water introduction, Mix Water Conditioner’s ingredients contact concrete’s cement ingredient at the exact same time as the mix water prior to hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is responsible for the splitting off of varying molecular portions of cement’s tricalcium and dicalcium silicate components, producing varying quantities of calcium hydroxide residue. Mix Water Conditioner ingredients ensure that the hydrolysis’ by-products are favorably affected. Particularly the calcium hydroxide quality, since calcium hydroxide is utilized to laminate the cement paste’s silicate polymer particles/strands
