Product Introduction
Magnesium Oxide (MgO) Shrinkage Reducing Admixture is a high-performance concrete admixture designed primarily around post-pour temperature dynamics. It generates expansion crystals through specialized chemical reactions at various stages after pouring, effectively compensating for concrete shrinkage to achieve micro-expansion or zero-shrinkage states. This targeted MgO expansive admixture resolves cracking issues caused by shrinkage, enhancing durability and structural integrity in waterproof and large-scale applications.
Key applications include underground parking garages, subway tunnels, basements, large-volume structures, and waterproof engineering. Compliant with CBMF 19-2017, available in R, M, S types with dosages of 6-10%.
