PREMIACAL™

SCC is a free flowing concrete without segregation and mechanicalconsolidation due to the use of admixtures and fine materials,such as PREMIACAL.

• Engineered limestone, with high carbonate content

• Fine particle size

• Uniform fineness

• Constant water absorption and color

PREMIACAL is an engineered limestone with a constant behavior in yourSCC mix-design, providing better workability, segregation resistance andhigh filling abilities. SCC requires a large portion of fine materials andadmixtures to achieve its free flowing consistency. To avoid using excesscement--resulting in high heats of hydration and possible shrinkage--theuse of PREMIACAL is beneficial.
