Glassy micronized filler loading: Saint GobainRecent Research Landscape

High water demand in concrete mixes increases curing time and reduces structural density. Engineering the ratio of glassy filler particles and fluidifiers optimizes workability while minimizing water-to-cement ratios.

What technical problems is Saint Gobain addressing in Glassy micronized filler loading?

Excessive volumetric shrinkage

(2)evidences

High surface area in micronized fillers increases the liquid required to achieve necessary flow. Reducing this demand prevents structural porosity and improves material density.
