KALMATRON® K100®

USA Patent Pending

DESCRIPTION OF KF100®

K100® is the latest addition to the Kalmatron® line of products!  K100® is available in both liquid and powdered forms and can be used in any cement containing mix.  K100® is great for projects utilizing continuous liquid dispensing of admixtures.  The great news is that K100® provides the combined benefits of KF-A® and KF-SEA® - so you can now used unwashed sea sand and still get the 29 benefits of KF-A®!

BENEFITS

K100 provides all of the benefits previously only available by combining two products in the Kalmatron line:  KF-A and KF-SEA.  

Recapping KF-A benefits:

·         Higher compressive strength, by 20-25%

·         Waterproofing

·         Early strengthening

·         Impermeability

·         No Alkali Silica Reactivity Concerns

·         Adheres to concrete in extreme temperature conditions; both hot and cold

·         Reduces the core temperature by 20%

·         Increased freeze/thaw resistance up to 400 cycles, and more

·         Shrinkage Decreased by 25-50% and reduced shrinkage cracks

·         High Abrasion Resistance

·         Improved Workability with lower W/C ratio

·         Very pumpable with no clogs in the hose

·         Extremely smooth finish

·         Improved Tensile/Flexural Strength

·         Homogeneous Mass creates a Hydraulic Lock within the concrete

·         No Curling Foundations

·         Increased Density

·         97% Micro Pores

·         Can be used in freezing weather conditions

·         Rebar will Never Rust

·         No Curing Needed

·         Reduction of water to cement ratio by 8-15%

·         No superplasticizers, water reducers, air entrainers, antifreezers or other admixtures, Fly Ash, Silica Fume, meshes, steel fiber or synthetic fibers are needed

·         Reduction in construction time – structure is ready to use in 14 days

·         Reduction/Elimination of Efflorescence

·         Lower absorption rates

·         High resistance to aggressive liquids/gases, including H2S

·         Ability to solve high alkalinity problems, moisture emission problems

·         No Bleedwater

·         Increased Durability

·         Kalmatron concrete does NOT have problems with Dusting, Blistering, Crazing or Scaling!

Recapping KF-SEA Benefits:

·         Used for natural and unwashed sea-sand and sea-gravel for higher durability than standard mixes.

·         Higher resistance to salt corrosion than standard concrete up to 20%.

·         Applicable for concrete petroleum tanks, pump stations, and high pressure pipes.

K100® Specific Benefits:

Early strengthening up to 70% on the 3rd day.

Impermeability to liquids:  50mm for conventional concrete; 15mm for stucco and plaster; and, 5 times lower chloride penetration; resistant to corrosive chemicals - even stable with pure vinegar.

K100® can be used without dryers, freezers, shakes, adhesive membranes or vapor resistant membranes.

USES OF K100®

K100® can be used in any cement containing mix.  This particular product will be especially useful where there is a limited supply of clean sand (no salt), as you can use unwashed sea sand in your concrete mix when you use K100®.

K100® is great for concrete floors, roads, foundations, liquid supply canals, sea docks, pools, wall panels and blocks, roofs, poles, pillars, and, decks.  Sewage treatment areas and chemical/agricultural structures last twice as long without repairs.
