Chronolia™
Category: Cement-based
Description:

ready mix concrete

Typical Use:

construction of walls, columns and beams; flatwork applications where a fast-track construction process is required, civil engineering projects where quick turnaround time is required

Apparent use of Nanotechnology: Silica Fume
Reason for Inclusion:

1. "Nanoparticle use in cementageous and concrete materials does concentrate on TiO2 and silica fume. Both additives though, are used in small quantities or in a two-layer system and only when specifically required for performance reasons because of the costs involved. Examples of products on a basis of silica fume that are currently at the market are i.e. Chronolia™, Agilia™ and Ductal™ by Lafarge and EMACO®Nanocrete by BASF."
