CoolCure Admixture
Category: Additives for concrete/cement
Description:

PRODUCT DISCONTINUED.

Cool-Cure is a concrete admixture that converts any typical cement into a Type IV, low-heat cement. Additionally, the usage results in 20 to 100% greater strengths. This silicone cement additive works well in manual and automatic dispensing equipment.

Typical Use:
  • Large Mass Pours
  • Bridge Supports
  • Embankments
  • Dams
  • Foundries
Apparent use of Nanotechnology: silica nanoparticles
Reason for Inclusion:

Technical Data Sheet (see product link for download) describes the product as "Nanotechnology Infused"

"In CoolCure, we use nano sized silica along with a catalyst to result in: 1 - a more balanced reaction and 2 - a very low by-product (calcium hydroxide) generation level. Nano-silicas have the same basic formula as sand, SiO2. The only difference is the size. Nano-silicas are one million times smaller. Nano-silicas when used in place of one pound of sand they create as much as 100,000 times the effective bonding surface. This results in much more strength from the higher CSH formation." - Retreived on 8/3/18 from http://siliconesolutions.com/coolcure (see downloadable Article about CoolCure)
