Alkali Silica Reactivity Control Admixture
EUCON INTEGRAL ARC is a lithium nitrate based, specially formulated admixture designed to control alkali-silica reactivity (ASR) in concrete. When reactive silica has sufficient alkalies and moisture, a damaging expansive gel forms. This expansion will result in cracking and premature deterioration of concrete. Alkali-silica reactivity can be controlled when EUCON INTEGRAL ARC is introduced as an admixture in concrete at recommended doses. Dosages will vary depending on the sodium equivalent of the cement and when used in combination with pozzolans such as Class F fly ash.
