INTELLIGENT SELF-CURING PC MODIFIED SILICA FUME GEL
POWER GEL-iSC is an advanced additive formulated using Nano-hydrophilic polymer technology embedded within a microsilica gel matrix. It is designed to enable intelligent Self-Curing (iSC) by absorbing and retaining free water within its porous structure, thereby supplying the moisture needed to sustain cement hydration. This internal curing mechanism effectively minimizes early-age drying shrinkage and reduces the risk of cracking caused by premature water evaporation.
In addition, POWER GEL-iSC improves the rheological properties of fresh concrete and enhances the quality of hardened concrete, particularly by increasing compressive strength. This makes it an ideal solution for producing high-durability concrete under challenging climatic conditions such as mass concrete placements, hot weather, or freezing environments. The use of this additive eliminates reliance on traditional curing methods such as water spraying.
This advanced-technology product meets the requirements of the following standards:
ASTM C1202
BS EN 12390-8, BS 1881-122
DOSAGE
The optimum dosage of POWER GEL-iSC can be determined by trials in the site. Depending on concrete mix design (concrete type, workability, compressive strength, sizes and types of aggregates, cement content, water/cement ratio, ambient temperature and concreting conditions), a dosage of between 1.0 and 3.0 percent by weight of cement is recommended.
Any deviation from the recommended dosage must be approved by the Concrete Technology Experts at Abadgaran Construction Chemicals Co.
Note: If using multiple concrete additives simultaneously, please consult Abadgaran's Technical Department.
DIRECTION OF USE
POWER GEL-iSC can be added to concrete in two ways:
1- POWER GEL-iSC could be added to ready-mix concrete before placing concrete.
2- POWER GEL-iSC could be added to a part or whole of concrete mixing water then added to the concrete mix.
