The first chemical admixture in the world to reduce drying shrinkage in concrete and mortar, and the potential for subsequent cracking.
Features and Benefits
-
Significantly reduces drying shrinkage by as much as 80% at 28 days, and up to 50% at one year or beyond when 2% TETRAGUARD AS20 admixture by mass of cement is used in the concrete mixture.
-
Reduces stresses induced from one-dimensional surface drying in concrete slabs and floors.
-
Reduces compressive creep.
-
Reduces carbonation.
-
Reduces drying shrinkage cracking and micro cracking thereby improving aesthetics, watertightness and durability.
-
Reduces compressive creep under drying conditions that minimizes pre-stress loss.
-
Minimises curling.
