Mapecrete System is designed for producing shrinkage compensated concrete, where dimensional stability is required to prevent shrinkage cracks in structures. It is applied by combining a blend of three admixtures within the concrete: A water reducer developed for slabs, a shrinkage-compensating agent and a shrinkage-reducing agent.

The system reduces the amount of weak points in the concrete and increases its durability, extending the service life of the structure.

Some of the common areas of use:

   •  Industrial floors
   •  Multi-story parking garage
   •  Precast concrete members
   •  Floor joists and piles for industrial bridges
   •  Floor slabs for bridges
   •  Hydraulic structures
