FORCE 10,000®D
High Performance Concrete Admixture Dry Densified Powder
FORCE 10,000® D is a dry densified microsilica (silica fume) powder designed to increase concrete compressive and flexural strengths, increase durability, reduce permeability and improve hydraulic abrasion-erosion resistance. The specific gravity of FORCE 10,000 D is 2.20.
FORCE 10,000 D can be used to consistently produce concrete with strengths of 6,000 psi (42 MPa) and higher in most instances with locally available materials and existing methods. It may also be used in precast and prestress applications where high early strengths are required.
The addition of FORCE 10,000 D also produces concrete with increased watertightness and dramatically reduced
permeability compared to conventional mixes. Reduced permeability is an important advantage in slowing the intrusion of chloride where corrosion of reinforcing steel is a potential problem. Examples are parking garages, bridge decks and concrete in a marine environment. FORCE 10,000 D also enhances the durability of concrete against aggressive chemical attack and in hydraulic abrasion-erosion applications.
