Shrinkage Compensating Admixture

CONEX® is a powdered admixture used for the compensation and total overall reduction of net shrinkage for Portland Cement concrete. Its functional mechanism is based on the formation of an expansive component. CONEX® is an expansive Type G component, which produces a calcium hydroxide platelet crystal system, as specified in ACI 223.

Features & Benefits

• The expansion characteristics of CONEX® allow for net shrinkage reduction for concrete
• Use of this admixture does not cause any slump loss and may be used in conjunction with other Euclid Chemical admixtures
• Will not affect the mechanical strengths
• It is compatible with the majority of Portland cements
• CONEX® does not affect the air content, set time, or other characteristics of fresh concrete
• The addition of CONEX® should not adversely affect freeze-thaw and salt scaling resistances given that an adequate air void system is provided
• Expansion process is not through ettringite formation

Applications

• Flatwork concrete
• Bridge decks
• Parking structures
• Interior/Exterior
• Arena/Artificial skating rinks
• Walls/Parapets
• Storage tanks
• Watertight construction
• Toppings
• Piers

Specifications / Compliances

• Meets ASTM C494 Type S admixture
• ANSI/NSF STD 61 registered

Packaging

 CONEX® is packaged in 22 lb (10 kg) pulpable bags wrapped in an outer plastic bag, which must be removed before use.
