Durable Concrete
BDR Toughcrete
High-durability concrete solution for extended service life
BDR Toughcrete is a specially engineered concrete solution developed to meet the critical requirements of high durability and long service life in concrete structures. Binder materials are carefully selected through extensive studies and rigorous testing to enhance durability under aggressive environmental conditions.
BDR Toughcrete is designed to withstand the test of time against harsh exposures such as chemical attack, moisture ingress, carbonation, and chloride penetration, making it ideal for infrastructure and industrial applications where performance and longevity are critical.
Applications
- Concrete directly in contact with soil having high concentrations of sulphates and chlorides
- Concrete exposed to chemical attack such as sewage treatment plants, pumping stations, and chemical factories
- Marine structures, loading docks, and underwater construction
- Underground tunnels and segments
- Structures exposed to severe, very severe, and extreme environmental conditions
Advantages
- Increased resistance against chemical attacks and carbonation
- Improved resistance to water penetration and chloride ingress
- Reduces drying shrinkage of concrete
- Increases service life of structures and lowers life-cycle costs
Technical Properties
- Strength Class: Up to M100
- Water Penetration: < 10 mm
- Chloride Penetration (RCPT): < 1000 Coulombs
- Non-steady-state migration coefficient: < 2 × 10⁻¹² m²/s
Special Instructions
- Ensure proper curing at site
- Concrete must be placed within the stipulated design period
