SuperPozzo is a new generation specially engineered material (high reactivity pozzolan) that reacts with free lime as soon as it is available in the concrete / plaster matrix.
This prevents lime leach and also forms additional C-S-H gel thereby improving the performance of concrete, reducing porosity, improves water resistance, enhancing early setting and making the concrete "brighter".
As such this can be added also to architectural applications where white cement is used.
SuperPozzo is typically added @ 5-10% by weight of cement and results in “buttery” or “cheesy” finish to the concretes and plasters.
Applications:
SuperPozzo can be used in any concrete and plaster application where performance enhancement is desired. It can also be used in:
- Water resistant areas e.g. swimming pools, water tanks
- Wet slabs such as roof slabs, toilet & utilities areas slabs
- Waterproof plasters
- External plasters
- Marine application areas (jetties, coastal applications, water intake wells)
- High performance concrete applications (With mix designs tested in appropriate laboratory to suit the end use)
- Areas where quick setting of concrete & plaster is desired
- Architectural applications using white cement
Usage and method of application:
SuperPozzo can be added to the concrete mixer or plaster immediately after addition of cement. However, due to its highly reactive nature, if external RMC is used.
SuperPozzo should be added to the transit mixer after it reaches the site.
For high performance / specific concrete applications, the mix designs should be prepared and tested in laboratories to confirm suitability.
