Hydramax
Hydramax additives are a revolutionary, ‘state of the art’, range of admixtures specifically designed and tailored to increase the efficiency of the hydration of Portland cement particles. All Hydramax products are based upon the same core technology. The formulation of each individual product is then modified and refined to meet the specific needs of the market sector they are targeting.
Hydramax technology dramatically improves and accelerates Portland cement hydration beyond that expected of “standard” concrete. The Hydramax range can take “normal” hydration efficiency, where typically 60% – 70% of the Portland cement particles will be hydrated, up to a hydration rate of 95%+ within a 28-day period.
The benefits of Hydramax providing a more efficient hydration process are multi-faceted:
Stronger
Increased compressive, flexural and tensile strengths.
Faster
Reduced time taken to achieve key performance targets of the concrete.
Smarter
A unique, alternative approach of aiding with the hydration process resulting in a higher quality, denser and more uniform concrete.
Concrete has been utilised in construction for more than the two thousand years, with Portland cement being included in concrete mixes for some two hundred years. The key technological principles underpinning Portland cement-based concretes have remained relatively unaltered during those two hundred years. However, Hydramax technology changes this. The use of Hydramax additives within a mix design significantly changes the rheology of concrete, providing solutions to problems that would have never previously been considered.
