Shrinkage reducing agent
When used as a building chemistry agent, Andricite® works as a shrinkage reducing agent in calcium aluminate based products for:
- thin self-levellers
- tile adhesives
- tiles grouts
- repair mortars
Used in the right proportions with aluminates, ettringite is formed. This will:
- reduce the shrinkage of Portland cement
- give high early strength
- provide long term mechanical strength
- dry rapidly
- reduce efflorescence
Aerated building blocks
As an additive in aerated block manufacture, the Andricite® aids in:
- setting
- and strength development
Aerated concrete blocks were first produced in the country of our headquarters, Sweden, back in the 1920’s. Nowadays aerated concrete blocks are commonly produced worldwide for a large variety of construction projects. Aerated concrete blocks’ are also known as:
- Aircrete blocks
- Cellular concrete blocks
- Or gas concrete blocks
Calcium sulphate as a cement additive
Cement is the basis for concrete and therefore one of the most essential products in the construction industry. Andricite can be used as a constituent part of cement manufacture. Our product is available in a coarse form that perfectly fits cement manufacture.
The benefits of using LKAB Minerals Andricite® for cement manufacture are:
- controlling set time
- improving mechanical strength
