REMARK: the mechanical characteristics depend on appropriate mixing, processing and after-treatment. We require a high energy mixer to achieve the specified characteristics.

 

Range of material properties

Why the range of mechanical properties? myUHPC is a cement bonded high-tech material and optimized in it's nano scale. Depending on mixing technology, mixing time, humidity, treatment, storage a.s.o the mechanical properties can vary.

 

When using myUHPC pre-mix, we will give you a first introduction into our material. Our structural engineers and material scientists will also support you with technical support; please see our service offers.

 

Advantage of myUHPC

The advantage of myUHPC is: You can vary the final production and treatment based on the myUHPC pre-mix. Make it stiffer, more fluid, add fibers, add pigments, ..... The sky is the limit.
