3D-Admix is an engineered blend of active solids suspended inertly in a concentrated liquid Shrinkage Reducing Agent (SRA). This composition allows for maximum rheology modification to concrete or mortar with a very low dose of admix. The solids are of a blend developed to impart optimal properties to the modified concrete to enable rapid vertical stacking while minimizing plastic shrinkage.
The initial set created by 3D-Admix is reversible (multiple times) with application of shear, such as by vibrating the concrete. Even when the modified concrete is at zero slump, if with coarse aggregate it responds extremely well to vibrational consolidation about reinforcing. Placing with vibration is highly efficient and also helps solidify subsequent vertical build.
As 3D-Admix functions with a retarder in the batched concrete, allowing improved interlayer bonding of 3D-prints, or faux stone carving, while maintaining vertical buildability.
