AmalgamixTM


Product description
Amalgamix is a homogeneous concrete mix with steel fibres added at the plant. This procedure increases the uniformity of the mix, improves slab reinforcement, and crack control. It offers superior deflection and impact resistance, as well as greater traction. Its high resistance properties make it ideal for supporting heavy and concentrated loads such as industrial shelving and material handling equipment.

Benefits
• The homogeneous distribution of steel fibres in the mix optimizes the performance of the concrete and ensures crack control • Accelerates construction by eliminating the installation of wire mesh, which often migrates to the bottom of the slab during pouring.

Applications
Commercial and industrial flooring, such as warehouses and superstores.

Recommendations
• The addition of a superplasticizer is strongly recommended • Water or chemical curing is absolutely necessary to maximize the performance and durability of the concrete
