ART-TRI

ART-TRI is a multifunctional admixture designed to address thermal cracking issues in mass concrete. Its core innovation lies in proactive intervention at the thermodynamic source: by inhibiting the heat release rate of cement hydration, it flattens the internal temperature peak and reduces the temperature gradient between the core and surface, thereby significantly reducing early-age cracking caused by thermal stress. Simultaneously, it utilizes the physical filling effect of ultrafine powder and the chemical densification of active components to optimize pore structure and block water permeation channels, achieving structural self-waterproofing.

Features of ART-TRI

Significant Temperature Control Effectiveness: The active components in the product feature a gradient slow-release function. During the concrete hydration temperature rise phase, it continuously releases temperature-inhibiting ingredients, reducing the hydration reaction rate of cement in the early and middle stages, thereby decreasing the heat release rate and maximum temperature rise of hydration heat, and delaying the occurrence of the temperature peak, with a temperature inhibition rate ≥30%.

High-Efficiency Waterproofing, Achieving Structural Self-Waterproofing: Through the physical filling effect of ultrafine powder and the chemical densification of active components, the concrete pore structure is optimized and water permeation channels are cut off.

Green, Environmentally Friendly, and Convenient Construction: The product is a non-toxic, pollution-free green material, packaged in soluble film with dust-free feeding. It is easy to use and exhibits good compatibility with various concrete admixtures.

Application Case

Hydraulic Engineering
In a mass concrete dam project, the impact assessment of adding ART-TRI is as follows: Temperature control met standards, replacing cooling pipes: internal-external temperature difference ≤24.6℃, cooling rate ≤1.4℃/d, both meeting specifications, achieving construction without cooling pipes.
Delayed temperature peak, reduced cracking risk: temperature peak postponed, heat release smoothed, reducing temperature cracks.
Underground Engineering
Taking C40P8 concrete for an underground station as an example, the impact assessment of adding ART-TRI is as follows:
Temperature rise control: reduced concrete temperature peak by 3.1℃; Mechanical properties: early strength slightly decreased, but no adverse effect on later-age strength;
Durability performance: crack resistance grade improved from L-Ⅳ to L-Ⅴ.
