Product overview
Performance and application overview.
When the Xingang port authority needed an adhesive surviving salt spray and winter storms, they tested 7 brands. Zrete C1 held 0.901MPa after 50 freeze-thaw cycles – 23% above project specs.
Why Engineers Specify C1
1.35MPa compressive strength
20-minute critical working window
85% strength retention post-freeze
The Science Behind Simplicity
Unlike polymer-modified competitors, C1 uses calcium aluminate activation – creating crystalline bonds that strengthen in damp conditions. Perfect for:
Steam rooms where epoxy fails
Concrete high-rises needing vibration resistance
Sub-zero climate projects (-45°C tested)
Technical parameters
Original product values for technical screening.
Values are reproduced without keyword editing. Final selection must follow the current approved technical data sheet, test method and project conditions.
The source page publishes a value or range but does not identify it as a minimum or a typical result. It is therefore retained as a published value pending TDS confirmation.
