Ternary Binder system is a new innovative and versatile binder that offers superior strength, durability, and workability compared to their binary counterparts. Introduction to Ternary Binder Systems Ternary binder systems comprise three main components: Portland...

Epoxy resin is a type of thermosetting polymer that is used in a wide variety of applications. It is typically a two-component system comprising resin and hardener. Sometimes, epoxy resins can also include additives like pigments, thickeners, and fillers to improve...

Calcium nitrate is a chemical compound with the formula Ca(NO3)2. It is a colorless, odorless salt that is highly soluble in water. Calcium nitrate is commonly used as a fertiliser, as it is a good source of both calcium and nitrogen, two essential nutrients for plant...

Cenospheres are a unique byproduct of coal combustion, typically generated during the burning of coal in thermal power plants. These hollow, lightweight particles are made up of silica, alumina, and iron oxide, and they possess a number of fascinating properties that...

Benzoic acid is an organic compound that is white in color and slightly soluble in water. It is highly soluble in many solvents solutions. The acid is a common complexing agent used in various greases and lubricants, such as aluminum complex greases. It’s also used to...

Being hydrophobic, fumed silica does not absorb water. While fumed silica itself does not absorb water, it can absorb moisture from the air, particularly in humid conditions. Fumed silica, sometimes called pyrogenic silica, is a type of amorphous silicon dioxide...

A plasticiser is a substance or material added to concrete to make it softer, improve workability and strength, and reduce water requirements. Plasticisers are available in two forms: mineral admixtures, like fly ash, and chemical admixtures, like Superplasticisers....

Glass fibre has become an essential component in many daily products. But what exactly is glass fibre, and where is it used? This post will explore the definition of glass fibre, some of its most common uses, and where you can find it. What is Glass Fibre? Glass...

Sodium nitrate (NaNo3) is a chemical compound composed of white spherical particles that are highly soluble in water. It is sometimes known as nitrate of soda, soda niter, or Chile saltpeter. As a strong oxidising agent, sodium nitrate is used in a variety of...

Calcium chloride is a popular and versatile chemical compound that classifies as a salt. At room temperature, it is colourless and highly soluble in water. It has many practical applications, from food preservation to de-icing and cooling. Using calcium chloride in...

Silica Fume (SF) or microsilica is a by-product of smelting high-purity quartz, coal, wood chips, silicone, or ferrosilicon alloys. Silica fume is a common ingredient in the manufacture of high-performance concrete, which can help enhance the solidity and durability...

CSA binder is a hydraulic binder based on calcium aluminate sulfate. The setting time is quicker than ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and it does not release free lime during hydration, decreasing the level of efflorescence. CSA binder accelerates set time and set...
