Category: Cement-based
Description:
self-consolidating concrete
Typical Use:
suitable for all types of commercial, residential, and institutional applications
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."
Company:
