Myth has it that 'only strong cement helps you build a home that lasts a lifetime'. In reality it is not true. The strength and longevity of cement depends on its granular composition along with its chemical constituents.
Research further proves our point that the unique particle size distribution of cement helps in making a denser concrete, which prevents the porosity as well as the water Ingress. The use of high quality cementitious material helps in converting the free lime to cement, leading to prevention of leeching which ultimately gives higher impermeability. This also reduces development of cracks due to shrinkage & expansion of the structure caused by the environmental stress.
ADVANTAGES
Uniform particle size distribution: leads to an impermeable mass, which ensures higher strength & durability of the structure. Lafarge Duraguard requires lesser amount of water during mixing. This reduces the voids inside the concrete mass, resulting in concrete, which becomes impermeable & non-porous in nature.
Dense concrete: due to its uniformly graded grain size, the concrete of Duraguard has tightly interlocked particles. This dense composition, in turn, reduces the concrete's vulnerability and protects it from harsh environmental conditions.
Superior grade fly ash: contains lesser percentage of unburnt carbon particles ensuring better conversion of free lime into cement. It reduces the leeching of lime that prevents water ingress into the concrete mass. Ultimately the iron rods are protected from rusting.
Optimum Setting Properties: eliminates deterioration of concrete during construction. This attribute removes interruptions in the hydration process of the mortar and allows the mason adequate time to complete his task efficiently.
With Duraguard, concrete becomes almost impenetrable.
APPLICATIONS
Unique features of Lafarge Duraguard makes it suitable cement for practically all types of the construction applications -Residential Building, Complexes, RCC work, Multistoried buildings, Mass concrete works, underground concrete works like foundations, roofing and all types of plasters, masonry works, tile fixing work etc.
Unique Properties of Lafarge Duraguard makes the concrete durable.
