About Dalton Silica Admix

Silica Admix is cement admixture made from natural volcanic ore. It is articulately blended in a well controlled environment to provide homogeneous and quality grain size. It protects concrete from scaling and alkali-aggregate reaction by pozzolanic reaction which is normal in exposed construction. Its high silica content and pozzolanic characteristics provide extreme concrete strength and better performance over the years. It prevent thermal cracking due to hydration caused by cement and water reaction and preventing steel bar from corrosion. It reduces the water content in a mixture and slowdown the setting rate of the concrete while retaining the flowing properties of a concrete mixture.

Enhanced Strength and Durability

Dalton Silica Admix is engineered to significantly improve the compressive and flexural strength of concrete and mortars. By reducing porosity and enhancing the density of the matrix, it results in tougher, long-lasting structures. Its unique formula ensures excellent dimensional stability and low water absorption, contributing to increased durability and resistance to environmental factors.

Versatile Applications in Construction

Whether you are engaged in waterproofing, industrial flooring, or general building construction, Dalton Silica Admix seamlessly integrates with all types of cement. Its non-toxic, eco-friendly profile makes it suitable for a variety of projects, from residential to large-scale infrastructure. The products greyish-white, powder form allows for easy mixing and uniform distribution throughout concrete mixtures.

Reliable and Safe Storage Solutions

Dalton Silica Admix is supplied in secure 25 kg and 50 kg bags for convenient handling and transportation. To ensure optimal performance and shelf life, it should be stored in a cool, dry place and kept sealed when not in use. Under recommended conditions, the product retains its properties for up to 12 months, making it a stable and reliable choice for construction professionals.

FAQs of Dalton Silica Admix:

Q: How should Dalton Silica Admix be incorporated into concrete mixtures?

A: Dalton Silica Admix should be added directly to the dry cement mix before introducing water. It is important to ensure thorough blending for a uniformly dispersed powder within the matrix, which maximizes its improving effects on strength and durability.

Q: What benefits does Dalton Silica Admix provide to concrete structures?

A: The admixture increases both compressive and flexural strength, reduces porosity, and lowers water absorption to less than 1%. This results in more durable, stable structures with enhanced resistance to aggressive environmental conditions such as alkalis and acids.

Q: When is Dalton Silica Admix most effectively used during the construction process?

A: It is most effective when mixed at the batching stage, before adding water to the mix. This ensures optimal distribution and interaction with the cement, yielding the best improvements in performance and durability of the final structure.

Q: Where can Dalton Silica Admix be applied?

A: Dalton Silica Admix is suitable for use in waterproofing, industrial flooring, all types of concrete and mortar applications, and any construction scenario where enhanced strength and reduced permeability are required.

Q: What storage conditions are recommended for preserving Dalton Silica Admix?

A: To maintain its quality and extend shelf life, Dalton Silica Admix should be stored in tightly sealed packaging, placed in a cool, dry area away from moisture and direct sunlight. Proper storage ensures a shelf life of 12 months.

Q: Is Dalton Silica Admix environmentally safe and non-toxic?

A: Yes, the admixture is non-toxic, eco-friendly, and free from harmful chlorides, making it safe for users and the environment when handled and applied as directed.

Q: What packaging sizes are available for Dalton Silica Admix?

A: The product is available in standard 25 kg and 50 kg bags, making it easy to handle, transport, and store for projects of various scales throughout India.
