Nit (LAF) C

DESCRIPTION:

AT-NIT (LAF) C is an alkali-free, shotcrete admixture in liquid form for application of spraying concrete.

APPLICATION:

• AT-NIT (LAF) C is suitable for the application as accelerator for setting in the dry process of spray as well as the wet process of spraying. The main application of AT-NIT (LAF) C is in the following areas:
  • Safety of propulsion, rock and slope safety, high volume spraying concrete for construction.

EFFECT:

• The effect of the accelerator on setting time is dependent on the content of cement, age of cement, temperature inside the tunnel, process of spraying etc.

ADVANTAGES:

• Fast setting times and high early strength
• High final compressive strength development after 28 days and excellent long-term durability.
• High early strength allows for spraying in thicker layers.
• Factory controlled quality formula, tailor made for high temperature and high humidity application environments.
• Very low dust production during application ensures safer working environment.
• Rock support in tunnels and mines
• Slope stabilization
• TBM tunnel linings / backfilling
• Soil stabilization in poor ground conditions

DOSAGE:

• The entire dosing is to be ascertained in pre-trial. For strengthening of the layer (or coating) up to approx 15 cm. In case of single charge, it is in the range of 3% to 10% of the content of binding agent. The dosing of AT-NIT (LAF) C is followed by a pump of crush (or squeeze) hose e.g. Aliva Al-403. An optimal nozzle and mixing must be guaranteed with the quality of demand.

APPLICATION TEMPERATURE:

• For shooting a thicker layer particularly on to the crown, the temperature should not be less than15°C.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTION:

• Before the dispensing of AT-NIT (LAF) C in spraying machine, please note that all the hoses and dispensing tank should be thoroughly cleaned and make sure that normal sodium silicate based liquid accelerator is not present.
