Shotcrete must be cured to ensure full and proper hydration of cementitious components and control of shrinkage.
|
The primary cause of both plastic shrinkage (fresh shotcrete) and drying shrinkage (hardened shotcrete) occurs as a result of moisture loss to the ambient environment.
|
HydroMax® aids in the control of moisture loss from the fresh and hardened shotcrete while decreasing shrinkage.
|
The use of HydroMax® in shotcrete results in other positive effects, including reduced rebound and reduced susceptibility to freeze/thaw damage.
