Eucon Eco Strength

STRENGTH ENHANCING ADMIXTURE

EUCON ECO-STRENGTH improves both early and late age strength development in concrete. Based on a highly engineered admixture technology that facilitates cement hydration, EUCON ECO-STRENGTH enhances strength development and allows for sustainable construction practices through possible reduction in cementitious content. Maintaining compressive strength development equivalent to that of a reference mix containing more cementitious is important in all construction projects requiring CO2 emissions and total embodied energy reduction. In addition, EUCON ECO-STRENGTH allows for compressive strength improvement of many concrete mix designs using Type IL, Portland Limestone Cements. EUCON ECO-STRENGTH is particularly effective where heat is present while curing, allowing earlier stripping of forms or restoring the serviceability of concrete repairs.
