CALUMEX QX-P®

CALUMEX QX-P is the latest development of CALTRA with regard to cement shrinkage compensating technology. It is based on Calcium Sulpho Aluminate and organic and in-organic additives ground to a high surface area. Main use is to reduse the shrinkage in both plastic and hardened phase of cement hydration by means of generating positive expansion.

Used in non-shrink grouts, self levelling floor screeds, prefab-concrete and anywhere where reduction of shrinkage is required. Depending on the quality of the cement used, normally replacement of around 8% by weight of the binder gives sufficient expansion to compensate shrinkage. Formulators should test the optimum amount by testing before hand..

Main features;

• Flexibility of formulating as it used as an additive
• Reduced shrinkage and cracking
• Improved density
• Higher durability
• Reduced maintenance cost
• Can be used both out– and indoor
