Introducing Duraguard Xtra with ‘Superset Technology’. A revolutionary technology that uses optimum amount of water to lend the cement enhanced work-ability, high compaction and optimum setting time through a unique ball bearing mechanism. It renders balance to the strength and duress of the concrete making it the perfect companion for building your perfect home.
What Makes It Special: Duraguard Xtra gives high density concrete or mortar by decreasing voids between cement particles. The factors that contribute towards reduction in its internal friction are:
- Water content
- Aggregate/ cement ratio
- Size of aggregate
- Shape of aggregates
- Grading of cement particles and aggregates
- Surface texture of cement particle and aggregates
- Use of admixture
Benefits:
- Higher work-ability at lower water-cement ratio
- Work-ability enhancing cement technology for easier application
- Optimum setting time without compromising strength
- 360 degree compact packing and interlocking
- Secures reinforcing steel bars against external weathering agents
- Best in class advanced Superset Technology
