Holderchem supplied the Platinum Tower project, located in the Saint George Bay in the Beirut Central District, with Elkem Microsilica 920 D. The incorporation of the material in the concrete mix yielded high compressive strength and low permeability concrete. It improved concrete mechanical properties and durability characteristics, reducing the long-term reduced diffusivity of chloride ions and corrosion of reinforcing steel, both important characteristics, particularly in an environment exposed to saline water.
