VIBROMIX C1

High water-reducing plasticiser for mechanical strength increase of extruded and damp mix concrete

Vibromix C1 is a liquid admixture specifically developed for the production of vibro-compressed and extruded concrete components, made using a damp mix.

WHERE TO USE:
Vibromix C1 increases the compacting grade of the concrete when vibrated. The plasticising action of Vibromix C1, together with its property of increasing mechanical strength after short curing times, allows manufactured components to be made using the vibro-compression and extrusion technique, which have considerably reduced curing times and, therefore, handling times.

Also, the performance characteristics are improved, such as mechanical strength and indirect traction, the components are more durable thanks to the reduced water absorption and have higher resistance to abrasion. Vibromix C1 also ensures a better surface finish of the component. Vibromix C1 does not excessively modify the rheology of the fresh concrete, and may be introduced into the production cycle without taking any particular precautions.

Vibromix C1 is particularly suitable for the production of:

vibro-compressed components, such as blocks, self-locking pieces, kerbs, man-holes, etc.;
extruded components, such as honey-comb floor slabs and large diameter pipes;
components that require quick stripping of formwork and/or reduced curing times.
