Concrete granulation agent
Granulation of leftover concrete and returned concrete.
What is Concrete Granulation Agent (in development) ?
The concrete granulation agent is a material that can be granulated by adding it to leftover concrete or returned fresh concrete. The concrete granulation agent from Nippon Shokubai exhibits thickening effects in alkaline environments, so when added to the strongly alkaline fresh concrete, it thickens the fresh concrete. Furthermore, granulation occurs due to water absorption and aggregation effects.
