TTsupeR
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.
TTsupeR
High-Performance Superplasticizer Concrete Additive
Product Description
TTsupeR® is a high-performance superplasticizer/concrete chemical that enhances the flowability of concrete and reduces its water demand when added to concrete mixtures. It significantly improves the workability of concrete while ensuring higher strength and durability.
Applications- Commonly used in the production of high-strength concrete elements.
- Used in ready-mix concrete production where continuous mixing and consistency are critical.
- Applied in situations requiring the filling of complex molds and placement of concrete in confined spaces.
- Facilitates the easy placement of concrete under its own weight.
- Significantly increases concrete strength and durability due to low water-cement ratio.
- Reduces labor costs and construction time by enabling faster and easier placement of concrete.
- Provides high workability, resulting in smoother and higher quality surfaces.
- TTsupeR® should not be added directly to the dry mix. It should be mixed with the remaining water after 70% of the aggregate, cement, mineral additives, and mixing water have been added to the concrete components.
- TTsupeR® is compatible with all types of cement (conforming to TS EN 197-1 standards) and mineral additives. The dosage of the chemical additive may vary depending on the type of cement, physical and/or chemical properties of concrete components, and environmental conditions. Laboratory trials are recommended to determine the optimum amount.
- TTsupeR® can be used in combination with TTaiR®, TTSet®, TTretardeR®, TTPlast CN®, and TTbindeR® series additives. When using multiple additives in a mix, each additive should be added separately to the mix.
