SPEED ALUMIXX
SPEED ALUMIXX is specially formulated for Aluform (MIVAN) concrete to improve hydration kinetics and enhance strength development.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
A concrete additive that controls the heat of hydration process of Self Dynamic Concrete (SDC) and normal pumpable concrete. The supplied product document positions it for high-flowable concrete used with Aluform (MIVAN) technology.
CORE BENEFITS
- Controls heat of hydration and pH level of the concrete matrix during green stage.
- Helps control lateral formwork pressure.
- Concrete exhibits insulating properties.
- Reduces the risk of reinforcement corrosion.
- Improves flexural strength of concrete.
- Helps prevent slurry leakage / seepage by mitigating potential shrinkage cracks.
- Requires only 3 days of curing, irrespective of whether OPC, PPC or PSC (blended) cement is used as the main binder, as stated in the supplied product document.

WHY ALUMIXX IN ALUFORM CONCRETE?
- Hydration control during the green stage
- Lower lateral formwork pressure
- Cohesive concrete matrix
- Reduced segregation, bleeding and laitance
- Mitigation of potential shrinkage-crack-related slurry leakage / seepage
- Improved flexural strength
- Insulating properties of the concrete
COHESIVE MATRIX
The supplied product sheet states that using ALUMIXX makes the entire matrix cohesive and avoids segregation / bleeding / laitance. Its accompanying illustration contrasts compact paste/mortar around aggregate with a condition involving excess paste/mortar.
TECHNICAL POSITIONING
ALUMIXX is presented as a concrete additive for controlling hydration behaviour and supporting concrete performance in Aluform (MIVAN) applications.
