Features and Benefits
Highly Workable & Durable Concrete
The limestone particles used in the manufacturing of INSEE SANSTHA have enhanced fineness and act as a lubricant in the mix, while also retaining water effectively, thereby producing highly workable concrete. These same limestone particles enhance the overall particle packing in the mix due to their engineered fineness, resulting in the augmented density of the concrete and minimized corrosion of reinforcements, making structures extremely durable.
Superior Strength
The engineered limestone particles in INSEE SANSTHA show increased strength development in concrete due to three factors; the rapid chemical
reaction of calcium carbonate with aluminate compounds in the cement resulting in durable carboaluminate crystals, the increased rate of cement
hydration, and the improved particle packing and overall concrete density, resulting in highly compact, superior strength concrete.
Exceptional Finish
The finer blended INSEE SANSTHA cement also allows for the concrete mix to be more flowable and moldable due to its increased cohesiveness, producing superior and aesthetic cement surface finishes.
Watertight Concrete
With enhanced particle packing of limestone due to their nature results in less space for water between the solid grains due to reduction in the connectivity of pores in the mix. This result of enhanced particle packing and increased mix density makes the resulting concrete extremely watertight.
