VICAROC-R

VICAROC-R is a high performance hydraulic binder based on PROMPT natural cement, modified with selected mineral additives.

Description

VICAROC-R is a high performance hydraulic binder based on PROMPT natural cement, modified with selected mineral additives. This is to improve the microstructure as well as the physicochemical and mechanical properties of the hydration products to suit structural purposes and rapid applications.

Advantages

  • Quick and adjustable setting as well as rapid hardening.
  • High initial strength.
  • Long term strength gain (Durability guaranteed).
  • Water proof.
  • Non – Shrink in plastic state, very low shrinkage after hardening.
  • Low heat of hydration (high cement content can be used and high thickness can be applied).
  • High resistance to chemicals with pH ≥ 4.
  • High adhesion to steel reinforcement, concrete and most construction substrates.
  • Autogenous healing: any pores or cracks are automatically filled as a result of the hydration process.
  • Carbonation resistant, therefore optimum protection is provided for steel reinforcement against corrosion.
  • Nontoxic, suitable to be in contact with potable water.

Uses

VICAROC-R is ideal for all applications which require any or all the above mentioned properties and are not limited to the following examples:

·In and around the sea.

·Negative and Positive water proofing.

·Rapid fixing works and anchorage.

·Agricultural projects, food industries and potable water tanks.

·Structural repair works.

·Tunneling and sewage works.

·Water plugging.

·Bedding, tiling and pointing works.

·Any construction works which require tremendous speed.

·Concrete protection from chemical attack (pH  4) and carbonation.

·Installation of thin partitions and rapid masonry works.

·Pipes sealed jointing.

·Decoration and works with lime mixes (plastering, cornices and statues).

·Archeological repair and restoration.
