The Impact of N50 Concrete Admixture on Fresh Concrete :
- Significant reduction of concrete bleeding
- Without affecting the setting and hydration characteristics of cement
The Effect of N50 Additive on Hardened Concrete:
- It does not have a significant effect on the 28-day concrete strength unless the admixture is also a water reducer in the concrete mix, in which case the compressive strength increases due to the reduction of the water-to-cement ratio.
- Reducing the penetration of rainwater and surface runoff
- Preventing algae growth on the concrete surface
- Increasing concrete durability in freeze-thaw cycles
It is crucial to note that the waterproofing admixture must be used in sufficient quantities, thereby significantly reducing surface absorption.
Therefore, the N50 concrete adhesive and admixture can not only provide waterproofing properties but can also generally prevent corrosion of steel reinforcement bars against moderate chloride levels.
