Batimix Anti-Shrink M-830

Shrinkage reducing admixture for reduced cracks in mortars and grouts

Description

BATIMIX Anti-Shrink M-830 is a ready-to-use liquid admixture that significantly reduces drying shrinkage of mortars and grouts.

Main Purpose

The pore water capillary tension is the primary driver of the drying shrinkage in cementitious-based systems. BATIMIX Anti-Shrink M-830 is made from high grade selected chemicals to dramatically reduce the tensile strength developed within the menisci and the angle of contact with the capillary walls. It does not contain expansive material. It instead acts chemically to reduce the surface tension of water in the mortar capillary pores.

Applications using BATIMIX Anti-Shrink M-830 include mortars and grouts used for masonry and repair such as plastering, rendering, patching, pointing, bricklaying, and screeding.

Features

Mortars prepared with BATIMIX Anti-Shrink M-830 are characterized by the following:

In the hardened state:

• Reduced crack occurrence due to drying shrinkage
• Increased joint spacing in pavements and walls
• Reduced water permeability and improved durability
• Longer mortar service life and better surface quality
