Introducing the revolutionary duoMatrix-C, a game-changing polymer additive that elevates the performance of cementitious materials such as portland cements and mortars. This innovative product eliminates the need for the usual 7-day post cure, allowing for faster and more efficient project completion. With duoMatrix-C, you can drastically reduce water and salt absorption, fill in micro cracks to minimize crack propagation, and enjoy enhanced freeze/thaw, ultra-violet, and chemical resistance. The result is a stronger, more durable, and long-lasting final product.

One of the key benefits of duoMatrix-C is its ease of use. This additive can be easily introduced to any aggregate mix, whether it's cast solid or mixed with chopped fiber and sprayed. You can also pigment the mixture to achieve the desired color uniformity. This makes it an ideal solution for creating architectural elements and concrete castings that are both durable and aesthetically pleasing.

When working with duoMatrix-C, it's essential to follow the recommended instructions for use, safety precautions, and mixing procedures. This includes storing and using the product at room temperature, avoiding humid conditions, and wearing protective gear such as safety glasses, long sleeves, and rubber gloves. It's also crucial to assemble all components and accessories before beginning the mixing process.

The mixing process itself involves combining the dry ingredients, including Portland cement, silica sand, and chopped fiber, before adding the duoMatrix-C and water. It's essential to mix the components in the correct sequence, using a power mixer to ensure thorough dispersion. You can also add a plasticizer to improve flow and reduce air bubbles.

Once the mixture is prepared, it can be poured into a mold or sprayed using standard spray equipment. After pouring, it's essential to vibrate the mold to remove any air bubbles. The mixture will then cure at room temperature for 16 hours before demolding. During this time, it's crucial to maintain optimal temperatures and avoid extreme temperatures that can affect the curing process.

With duoMatrix-C, you can accelerate or slow the cure process using conventional ad mixtures. This gives you greater control over the final product and allows you to tailor the curing process to your specific needs. Whether you're creating large architectural panels or covering large areas, duoMatrix-C is the perfect solution for enhancing the performance of your cementitious materials.
