DCH Inc. is a proud distributor of R-E-D Industrial Products for Silica Fume
R-E-D Silica Fume
High Performance Concrete
Silica fume is an admixture used in various industries due to having desirable properties and effects when used as a partial replacement or admixture in concrete. Silica Fume:
-Provides filler due to particle size
-Increases strength and permeability
-Protects against chemical deterioration, salt water, and other harmful environments
-Reduction in permeability
-Alleviates Alkali-Silica Reaction
Why DCH?
Concrete is one of the most widely used building materials in the world. High-and-Ultra-Performance Concrete is critical to building structures, buildings, roadways, and infrastructure that provide strength and durability. Concrete with silica fume contributes to all these benefits while being cost-effective due to the life span and sustainability of the concrete. DCH provides the highest-quality silica fume that is the standard in the industry. Our knowledgeable staff is ready to discuss all of your silica fume needs.
Examples of Silica Fume
Silica fume can be used in concrete applications such as:
-Bridges
-Highways
-Parking garages
-Structures in marine environments
-High-traffic areas
-Hard impacts
-Various destructive environments
Silica Fume & Sustainability
R-E-D’s Silica Fume provides a premium in function and application sustainability. This is how our silica fume product line can make a difference in longevity and viability. See the information below to find out how silica fume can provide confidence that you are making the sustainable choice for your next project.
Applicability for Sustainability
- Increased strength in concrete structures
- Longer durability
- Resistance to alkali-silica reaction (ASR)
- Abrasion and impact resistance
- Low permeability to intrusion from corrosives such as water, salt, chloride, and other natural elements
- Reduction of life cycle costs
Implementations
- Low permeability makes it well suited for structures that are immersed or near oceans, rivers, and water sources such as bridges, dams, and tunnels.
- The ability to protect from abrasion and impact resistance provides a boost in protection for rebar from deterioration and replacement.
- Increased strength for use in more wear-and-tear concrete structures that need to reach the standard life cycle span of 50 years.
Why
- Increase sustainability in concrete projects
- Lower life cycle costs of infrastructure and building projects
- An ethically sourced product that can boost your green initiatives
