TTbindeR
They are long synthetic fibers produced from high molecular weight polymers such as polyolefin or polypropylene. It makes concrete more durable by intervening in micro-level structural defects.
These fibers extend the service life of concrete by increasing its resistance to early age cracks. By restricting the capillary movement of water, it reduces the water absorption capacity of concrete and increases its resistance to corrosive effects.
Compared to steel fibers, these synthetic fibers pose no risk of electrochemical corrosion. It also provides a more uniform distribution within the concrete and has the potential to reduce labor costs because it requires no special alignment or placement.
It is frequently preferred in non-structural and structural concrete applications with high performance requirements. These include structures in earthquake zones, high traffic floors, water structures and tunnels.
Integration of Macro Synthetic Fibers is simple. They are added directly to the concrete during the concrete batch process and are easily dispersed by mechanical mixing.
The fiber geometry is optimized according to the specific needs of the application. Hydrodynamic design and variant dimensions are used for optimal distribution and performance.
In general, the quality of the polymer used in the production of the fiber, fiber geometry and the total usage amount are the main factors affecting the cost.
When used in optimal proportions, these fibers do not adversely affect the workability of concrete, although in some cases the water/cement ratio may need to be slightly adjusted.
It shows a significant improvement in the tensile strength of concrete. While it increases impact and wear resistance, it may not have a direct effect on compressive strength.
The production of Macro Synthetic Fibers is more sustainable and energy efficient compared to steel fibers. No risk of corrosion extends the service life of structures and further reduces their environmental impact.
TTbindeR
Adhesion Enhancer and Waterproofing Acrylic Resin-Based Chemical Additive for Concrete
Product Description
TTbindeR® is an acrylic resin-based chemical additive used to enhance adhesion and waterproofing in concrete and concrete products, as well as in fresh concrete applications.
Applications- As an adhesion enhancer between old and new concrete,
- In repair mortars,
- In plaster mortars,
- In screed concrete applications,
- In ceramic adhesive mortars.
- Provides excellent adhesion,
- Provides resistance to freezing,
- Reduces the risk of plastic shrinkage cracking,
- Does not affect the setting properties of the concrete,
- Does not contain chlorides or other harmful substances,
- Does not contain solvents.
- The surface to be applied must be free of dust, dirt, grease, and other chemicals. The surface should be moistened before application.
- The ambient temperature during application should be between +5°C and +35°C.
- TTbindeR® should be added to the mixing water, not directly to the dry mix.
Consumption may vary depending on the concrete surface temperature, wind speed, and humidity during application. The optimal usage dosage should be determined through trials on a small area. Generally, the TTbindeR®/water ratio ranges from 1:1 to 1:4.
