Non-shrink Concrete

Non-shrink Concrete

General Concrete

This type of concrete has been specifically designed to minimize the amount of shrinkage in concrete. A special kind of admixture that is suitable for this type of application is utilized in order to allow the concrete to expand in its fresh state. This pre-expansion will compensate for the shrinkage that will occur when the concrete starts to set, thus reducing the extent of shrinkage in hardened concrete. Non-Shrink Concrete is, therefore, suitable to be used in structures that require the degree of shrinkage to be minimal. Such applications, include, pile cap concrete, roads, and ground slabs that cover a large area.
