Advantages

  • Non-Alkali Reactive: Free of active caustic alkalis like sodium and potassium ions, preventing alkali-aggregate and alkali-lime reactions.
  • Enhances Concrete Soundness: Ensures strong and durable sprayed concrete.
  • Efficient Application: Improves overhead spray and reduces rebound due to better adhesion on rock surfaces.
  • Strength Retention: Develops high early strength without compromising long-term strength.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Chloride-free formulation prevents steel reinforcement corrosion.
  • Safe Handling: Non-caustic composition ensures safer working conditions.

Method of Application

  1. Dosage:
    • Typically ranges from 3% to 10% of the binder weight, depending on concrete, air, and substrate temperature, as well as cement reactivity.
    • Avoid overdosing (>10%), which may reduce final strength.
  2. Dispensing and Mixing:
    • Add JBS ACTIVA AFA-L to the nozzle for application.
    • Ensure the use of compatible dosing pumps to maintain a constant and adequate dosage.
