WHERE TO USE

Expanfluid ME can be used in preparing:

1. grouts for filling the casings and/or ducts of post-tensioning cables in pre-stressed concrete;
2. mortars for anchoring reinforcing rods, tension rods or studs in concrete or rock;
3. structural pre-stressed element cables ducts;
4. slurries for filling cavities and cracks in rock or damaged concrete.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

1. Expanfluid ME is an expansive agent in a powder form with both super-plasticising and expanding actions to be mixed with cement and water for preparing injection grouts with high fluidity (Marsh cone test < 30 seconds) and extended pumpability.
2. Expanfluid ME can be used to prepare grouts for injection in the casings of tension cables of prestressed reinforced concrete in compliance with Italian regulations (L. 1086) and European recommendations (CEB FIP).
3. The expansive action of Expanfluid ME completely eliminates hydraulic shrinkage and promotes expansion both in the plastic state and during hardening. Final expansion is 200-800 µm/m, depending on the type of cement and the water-cement ratio.
4. In addition, Expanfluid ME curtails bleeding levels to lower than the limits set by CEB FIP recommendations
