TamCem Micro Silica
Overview
TamCem Micro Silica is composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2), collected from silicon metal and ferrosilicon. TamCem Micro Silica will react with the Calcium Hydroxide from the cement, which will form more of the Calcium Silicate hydrate, increasing the strength of the concrete. Using Tamcem Micro Silica will also increase the durability of the concrete.
High impermeability and significantly less rebound loss.
