TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES
- Enables concrete to be in elasto-plastic behaviour
- Increase the fire resistance
- Prevents the shrinkage cracks and micro cracks.
- High energy absorbtion capacity
- Increases the fatigue resistance of concrete
- Decreases the surface wearing
- Increases the impact resistance
- Provides the pull-off strength in high bending and spliting
- Performs with three dimension and act as a compression reinforcement against the negative moments occured on the surface
- Increases the durability without corroding.
- Brings extra resistance to concrete which get weak due to the freezing and thaw
- Keeps concrete asidic and salty environments together.
DOSAGE and USAGE
Ricon-Ferro dosage varies between 1-10 kg/m3 on different applications. Ricon-Ferro usually is been used between the dosage of 2-4 kg/m3 on the average ground conditions and under average repelling and ground concrete average loads.
For the homogenous mixture, it is just enough Ricon-Ferro to be put on the aggregate band in the concrete plant or added to the concrete mixture are enough.
If it is requested to be mixed on the construction site, it is recommended to add determined dosage to the truck mixer and mix for 5 minutes minimum. After this process, the homogenous mixture will be obtained and no other labour will be needed to place concrete.
THE ADVANTAGES OF COST AND APPLICATION
- Provides cost advantage in terms of the labour during the application
- The time loss during the montage of steel mesh does not happen with Ricon-Ferro
- More advantageous in the purchasing cost than the steel mesh and the steel fiber
- The thickness of slab decreases since the concrete cover is not used
- Extend the service lifetime and the maintenance periods since it does not corrode.
- Is not harmed during stock and is able to be kept for longer time.
