WHAT IS BUILDFINE?
An Ultrafine material is a low calcium silicate mineral based admixture which is controlled for its narrow range particles size distribution to achieve high levels of reactivity. Fineness and high reactivity of BUILDFINE attributes to enhance the hydration process. Addition of Pyramid ultrafine improve the particles packing of paste a component which ultimately leads to concrete with higher strength and improve durability. Performs in a superior manner when used in concrete. Due to its inbuilt low CaO – SiO2 content has two-way reactions during hydration: Primary reaction of cement hydration and pozzolanas reaction in which it consumes a by-product of calcium hydroxide from hydration of cement to form calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) gel similar to pozzolanas.APPLICATION OF BUILDFINE UGGBS
Infrastructure Projects
Precast Units Ready to use products Residential & Commercials Buildings • Pre & Post Tension Bridges & Metros • Water Reservoir Structures like Dam, Canal, Heavy Water Tanks etc. • Marine Structure where durability parameters are essentials (Like Coastal areas) • Temperature Controlled mass foundation of high grade concrete
Residential & Commercials Buildings
- High rise structure where pumping is a challenge • Medium to high-performance concrete • Raft & Footing foundation where high flow & self- compacting is must • Ultra-High rise Structure where early strength is mandatory
Precast Units
- High & Ultrahigh grade precast elements (beams, girders, sidewall and tunnel segments) • Hume pipes & Drains • High strength paver block
USAGE OF BUILDFINE
BUILDFINE is a hydraulic additive which should be added with measured quantity in concrete mix along with cement and other pozzolanic material. Mixing time shall be adequate to facilitate the uniform inter dispersion of all powder materials in the concrete.DOSAGE
BUILDFINE UGGBS is recommended 4% to 8% by weight of total binder content as per the grade of concrete. Dosage can vary as per requirement but it is recommended to validate it first in the laboratory
STORAGE
BUILDFINE UGGBS bags should be stored in a ventilated, dry area and protected from moisture, and heat. Maintained Under well storage conditions shelf life of a sealed product is six months from the date of manufacturing.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
- Use of mask, Hand gloves and goggles while using BUILDFINE material. • Empty bags shall be disposed of as per local rules and regulations. • Avoid prolonged contact with skin and eyes.
