Product Description

GREEN-ASHPOZ unlike cement contains almost no lime, yet it needs the lime to start reacting as cement. Where does it get its lime? Once the cement starts to hydrate with the addition of water it forms a matrix of crystals, which tie together the particles of sand and aggregate, but it also starts to produce an excess of lime that has not been needed in the reaction - this “free-lime” can have a detrimental effect on the porosity of the concrete as it can leech out in water – but it is this very “free lime” that the GREEN-ASHPOZ needs to start its reaction – so it will not show any significant activity immediately, it will not react until the volume of “free-lime” is sufficient for GREEN-ASHPOZ to start acting like a cement.
