    Greco SF-90D is a densified silica fume powder that improves the quality and strength of concrete. It is a byproduct of smelting silicon metal and ferrosilicon alloys. When added to concrete, silica fume chemically reacts with calcium hydroxide to produce additional calcium silicate hydrate, increasing strength and density while reducing permeability. It physically fills voids in the concrete matrix, further lowering permeability. Typical dosage is 5-10% of cement weight. Benefits include higher compressive strength, reduced permeability, improved sulfate resistance, lower rebar corrosion, and alkali-silica reaction prevention.

    Greco SF-90D
    Densified silica fume for high-performance concrete

    Description Effects On Hardened Concrete


    Greco SF-90D is a densified silica fume powdered  Increased compressive strength and reduction in
    product, derived as a by-product from the smelting permeability
    process used to produce silicon metal and ferrosilicon
    alloys.  Improved sulphates resistance
    Greco SF-90 silica fume is a very fine pozzolanic material  Reduced chloride ion permeability
    consists of mainly spherical particles of amorphous silicon
    dioxide with a very high surface area of minimum  Improved electrical resistivity
    15,000 m²/kg and particles approximately one hundredth  Improved bond strength to rebar and substrates
    the size of the average cement particle.
     Protection against alkali silica reaction in aggregate
    Greco SF-90D silica fume improve the quality of the
    hardened concrete and cementitious system chemically  Improved abrasion and erosion resistance
    called pozolanic reaction and physically as a pore filler.
    Typical Properties
    The hydration of Portland cement produces calcium
    silicate hydrate (CSH) gel, source of concrete strength
    and calcium hydroxide (CH) or free lime. Being a highly Appearance : Grey powder
    reactive pozzolan, silica fume chemically reacts with Specific Gravity : 2.1 - 2.4 kg/lt
    calcium hydroxide (CH) present in the cement paste to
    produce additional CSH gel, thus improving the cement Solubility : Insoluble

    Greco SF-90D silica fume is compatible to chemical Packaging
    admixtures, all type of Portland and blended cements
    such as fly ash and slag. Greco SF-90D is supplied in 10kg, 20kg, bulk bag or
    bulk tanker delivery into silo.
    Applications
    Health & Safety
    Greco SF-90D silica fume is recommended to use with
    chemical admixtures such as water-reducer and Avoid skin and eye contact. Wear suitable protective
