Fluid Col

The physical-chemical action of Fluid Col is an interaction of positive contributions and modifications: drastic reduction of the A/C ratio, shrinkage-resistant action, superpozzolanic action and reaction of ultrafine fillers (MICROSIL 90), which transforms unstable, soluble, readily reactive calcium hydroxides into stable, insoluble, chemically and mechanically resistant hydrous calcium silicates.

Fields of application

Preparation of mortars, grouts, rheofluid concretes, shrinkage-compensated or moderately expansionary, high mechanical, watertightness and chemical stability performance, for structural slubs, anchoring machines, road joints, etc.

Allowed supports

Mode of use

Add the product in a concrete mixer, mixer truck or mixer, together with the remaining anhydrous components of the mixture: cement and aggregates, any polypropylene and/or steel fibres, etc. The indicative dosage, depending on the type of conglomerate to be packaged and its purposes, varies between 12% and 15% of the weight of the cement.

After a first mixing, add the mix water and mix thoroughly, until you obtain a homogeneous whole and free of lumps. The cement dosage must not be less than 350 kg/m³. Fluid Col is perfectly compatible with the addition of fibre d steel and/or polypropylene fibres READYMESH, for the preparation of conglomerates composite s, fibre reinforced.
