Uses
Sikament FF-T(VC) is used for producing optimised coloured wet,semi-dry/no- slump concrete with a very low water content. Wet,Semi-dry/no-slump concrete production is generally used in the manufacture of machine-made concrete products associated with instant de-moulding such as:
- Block Paving (grey / coloured)
- Cement Tiles (grey / coloured)
- Paving flags
- Kerbstones
- Edgings and other items for garden and landscape design
- Building blocks and bricks
Advantages
Sikament FF-T(VC) offers substantial benefits to the producer of Wet, semi-dry/no slump concrete products:
- Efficient dispersion and distribution of cement, additives and pigments
- Give high early strength to wet concrete
- Improved movement of the concrete through the machine (faster mould filling)
- Optimised compaction with shorter pressing time and increased output [ shorter production cycle ]
- Minimized friction between the mould and the concrete [ Reductions in equipment wear and tear ]
- Reduced adhesion/stickiness between top layer concrete and pressing head/tamper (equipment/tools)
- Increased “green” strength on immediate de-moulding [ keeps the shape of freshly de-moulded semi-dry concrete products because it prevents slumping after de-moulding ]
- More economic concrete mix designs
- Create superior products
- Closer textured, smoother and more uniform surfaces (improved surface finish)
- Consistent product quality due to a homogenous concrete mix
- Less variation in densities and strengths across the area of the mould (constant spread of density & strength over the pallet)
- Minimized damage due to early handling
- Consistent early and ultimate compressive and tensile strengths Increased freeze-thaw resistance
- Improved durability and life expectancy
- Constant and uniform colour (colour fastness)
- Less customer returns and second grade products
