Kalmatron admixtures are Inorganic Oxidizers of micro/macro metal elements contained in the cementitious materials and other ingredients in the mortar and concrete compositions. Kalmatron provides extension of the gel surface through a process of oxidation that is classified as Type C (accelerating admixtures) and Type F (water-reducing, high range admixtures).


HOW IT WORKS

KALMATRON KF-A PROVIDES A FOUR STEP CHAIN REACTION WITH CEMENT GRAIN:

Initial dissolution of cement grain by hydration;
Oxidation of metal-containing elements;
Colloidation of free molecules of water;
Stabilization of the gel of the cement rock.
These reactions allow a reduced dosage of water, 10% to 30% less than the standard requirements with lower slump and even better workability.

EXPECTED RESULTS

Early strengthening on 3rd to 7th day;Higher compressive strength at 25% and higher;
Highest adhesion to most known porous materials;
Shrinkage is lower by 2 to 3 times. Just no cracks at all. Exothermic heat is lower at 25% to 50%.
No flakes, efflorescence, dusty spots, and slid areas.
Water impermeability is 100% beginning from 50 mm or 2” of concrete thickness.
Highest resistance to chemical and climate corrosions.
Increase in frost-resistance up to 35%;
Yield of concrete mix is higher by 3% to 6%.
