MS-D3 Shotcrete
High early strength, silica fume enhanced pre-packaged shotcrete material for dry process applications.
MS-D3 Shotcrete is a pre-blended, pre-packaged dry process shotcrete material containing high early Portland cement, silica fume, air-entraining admixture, blended aggregates and other carefully selected components. MSD3 Shotcrete has greatly enhanced shooting characteristics and physical properties.
Features and Benefits
- Improved early age strength development.
- Air-entrainment provides superior resistance to freeze-thaw cycling and salt scaling resistance.
- Improved adhesive and cohesive plastic properties.
- Significantly reduced rebound, resulting in lower material usage.
- Improved ability to build greater thicknesses in a single pass in both vertical and overhead orientations.
- Improved resistance to water washout.
- Improved resistance to sulphate attack.
- Very low permeability.
- Low shrinkage.
- Can be blended to meet ACI 506 “Guide to Shotcrete”, Table 1.1, Gradation No. 1 or 2.
- Manufactured to meet the ISO 9001:2000 Quality Standards.
Uses
- Rehabilitation of concrete bridges, dams, reservoirs, subway tunnels, marine structures and parking ramps.
- Lining and rehabilitation of sewers and watermains.
- New construction including slope stabilization, soil-nailing, shaft and tunnel linings, pools and other concrete structures.
