DESCRIPTION:
AT-NIT (LAF) P is an alkali-free, shotcrete admixture in liquid form for application of spraying concrete. APPLICATION:
- AT-NIT (LAF) P 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) P 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 continued high early age
- strength gain allows for spraying in thicker layers
- High final compressive strength development after 28 days and excellent long-term durability
- Assured performance also at low temperatures and onto wet substrate conditions
- Very low dust production during application ensures a safer working environment
- Sprayed concrete ground support in tunnels and mines
- Slope stabilisation
- Accelerated cementitious injection grout
- Segmental lining backfill grout
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) P 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) P 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.
