NORAD Product Description

NORAD is a high range water reducing (superplasticizer) admixture that vastly improves the workability of silica fume concrete while maintaining its engineered properties. Concrete treated with NORAD has the low water/cement ratio of no-slump concrete. It is extremely plastic and practically self-leveling, so it is much easier to place. NORAD compensates for the increased water demand of the small silica fume particles. NORAD disperses the silica fume homogeneously throughout the mix, assuring greater bonding strength, reduced movement of components and fewer processing defects.

BENEFITS

Plasticity range of 8" to 11" (200 to 280 mm)
Extended slump retention
Flowing self-leveling concrete
High early strength
Excellent workability
Water reductions typically 20%
Reduced cement requirements
Extremely high ultimate compressive strength

APPLICATIONS

Silica fume concrete
Silica fume shotcrete
precast concrete
Architectural concrete

PACKAGING

NORAD is available in both a liquid and powder form. NORAD liquid is available in 55 gallon drums or 5 gallon pails. NORAD powder is supplied in standard 55 pound paper bags. NORAD should be stored at room temperature.
