Product overview
Performance and application overview.
T60 CSA-Based Concrete Expansive Agent is a high-performance, calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA)-based shrinkage-compensating admixture enhanced with polymers for superior crack resistance and waterproofing. Its core mechanism involves rapid hydration to form expansive ettringite crystals (3CaO·Al2O3·3CaSO4·32H2O), which generate controlled volume expansion in the early stages (2-7 days) to offset drying and autogenous shrinkage, reducing tensile stresses and preventing cracks. With low alkali content (≤0.75%) and high compatibility, it's perfect for reinforced concrete in demanding applications like mass pours, ultra-long structures, and self-waterproofing projects, enabling joint-free casting up to 150m while boosting durability and impermeability.
