Admixer (Waterproofing & High Strength)
Strength begins from within. Standard concrete is naturally porous, containing microscopic capillaries that allow water and salt to penetrate, leading to “cancer” in the reinforcement bars. Admixer by UrbanBD is a high-performance, liquid-phase integral waterproofing and strength-enhancing admixture. By densifying the molecular structure of the concrete during the mixing stage, it transforms a standard slab into an impermeable, high-strength barrier.
Technical Capabilities
Why Admixer is the gold standard for modern construction:
Pore-Blocking Technology: Reacts with cement to form a non-soluble crystalline structure that plugs capillaries.
Water-Reducing Plasticizer: Allows for a lower water-to-cement ratio, significantly increasing the final compressive strength.
Corrosion Inhibition: Protects internal steel reinforcement from oxidation and chloride attack.
Workability Enhancement: Improves the “flow” of concrete, ensuring it reaches every corner of the formwork without segregation.
Reduced Shrinkage: Minimizes the risk of hairline cracks during the curing process.
Performance Data:
25% – 30% Increased Durability: Extends the lifespan of the structure by preventing internal moisture damage.
High Compressive Strength: Achieve higher $PSI$ ratings with the same cement content, optimizing project costs.
Cost-Effective Protection: Eliminates the need for expensive external membranes in many secondary applications.
Eco-Friendly & Non-Toxic: Safe for use in potable water tanks and environmentally sensitive projects.
Critical Application Areas
Admixer is essential for any structure exposed to moisture or heavy loads:
Basements & Retaining Walls: Preventing dampness from high water tables.
Water Reservoirs & Swimming Pools: Ensuring zero leakage from the inside out.
Roof Slabs & Terraces: The first line of defense against heavy monsoon rain.
Foundations & Piles: Essential for coastal or marshy soil conditions in Bangladesh.
Sewage & Industrial Tanks: Resistance against chemical and sulfate attacks
Proper Dosage & Mixing
To achieve maximum results, ICSE follows a strict application protocol:
Standard Dosage: Usually 200ml to 500ml per 50kg bag of cement (depending on specific project requirements).
Mixing Sequence: Added to the gauging water or directly into the mixer after the concrete is wet.
Dispersion: Mixed for at least 2 minutes at high speed to ensure even distribution throughout the batch.
