FCSC Microsilica
Description

FCSC Microsilica is composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2), collected from silicon metal and ferrosilicon. FCSC Microsilica will react with the calcium hydroxide from the cement, which will form more of the calcium silicate hydrate, increasing the strength of the concrete. Using FCSC Microsilica will also increase the durability of the concrete.

Uses
  • Shotcrete concrete
  • Structural concrete
  • Readymix concrete
  • Project requiring high strength/high performance Concrete
  • FCSC Microsilica used where high demands are imposed on the quality of fresh and hardened concrete
    • Advantages
    • Increased cohesiveness and reduced bleeding
    • Increased ultimate strength
    • Increased modulus of elasticity
    • Eliminate steam curing, savings on heating cost
    • Shotcrete usage
    • Less material wastage and greater efficiency of product use
    • High impermeability and significantly less rebound
    • Reduced chloride penetration and increased resistance to sulphate attack and alkali silica reactivity
