- Features and Benefits
- Cost reductions. For conventional concrete mixes, KC will solely replace the following admixtures and supplementary materials:
- Water reducers.
- Superplasticizers.
- Pozzalons.
- Silica fume.
- Fly ash.
- Membranes.
- Fine fillers.
- Fibers.
- Density and strength gainers.
- Dosage reduction of water at the rate of 10%-30% in conventional concrete mixes.
- No surface preparation (remove loose materials).
- High cement hydration.
- Yield of mixed batch is higher by 8% to 14% of cement gel.
- Early strengthening at 3rd to 7th day.
- Compressive strength is increased by up to 25%.
- Shrinkage is lower at 2 to 3 times.
- Exothermic heat is lower at 30% to 50%.
- 100% water impermeability at 2 inch concrete thick layer.
- Strong adhesion to any porous material.
- Works with concrete in ambient temperature range of -4°F to 104°F.
- Increased pumpability.
- Increased workability.
- No shrinkage cracks.
- No cracks, flakes, efflorescence and slid areas.
- No bleeding.
- Highest resistance to chemical and climate corrosions.
- Highest freeze-thaw resistance.
- Mixing for up to 5 hours keeps concrete batch revived with approximately 20% slump reduction. however, workability will be the same.
- No curing is required.

- Applications
Recommended for use in:
- Production of high performance concrete.
- Production of liquid impermeable concrete, including crude oil.
- Fineness and corrosion resistant precast concrete.
- Abrasion and salt resistant trafficable concrete.
- Non-shrinking concrete for flat works.
- Pervious concrete.
- Waterproofing.
- Direction for Use/Instructions
Dosage: KC is normally used at rate of 10 Kg per 1,000 Kg of Ordinary Portland Cement. KC can be added at the clinker feed conveyer belt or directly into the cement after the kiln compartment only. It is suggested that dosages outside of normal usage range may be required. In such cases, contact KALMATRON CORPORATION Representative.

Regulatory & Compliance
- ASTM Classification
KC falls under the classification of the following types of ASTM C 494:
- Type C – cement hydration accelerator;
- Type F – high range water-reducing admixture;
- Type S – specific performance admixture.
Safety & Health
- Precautions
- Test batches and sample testing must be performed by strict compliance with manufacturer’s test instructions
- KC is not hazardous, not flammable and not explosive for applications, transportation, and storage
- In all cases, consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before use.
- Safety
Operation with KC is similar to cement mixing jobs. Always, use rubber gloves. In case KC is inhaled, swallowed or gets in contact with eyes, rinse and wash abundantly with water. Refer to the MSDS for additional health and safety information.
