Nuvoco Vistas Corp. Ltd., which is a leading construction materials company in India, has launched Nuvoco Concreto Tri Shield, a high-performance ready-mix concrete that is designed to enhance the durability of a structure and its lifespan. Notably, Nuvoco Concreto Tri Shield happens to be a three-in-one durability solution that is designed to protect structures in India from growing extreme environmental exposures.
Apparently, the solution is especially designed to counteract negative effects pertaining to high chloride levels that exist in the borewell water and also coastal air, fast carbonation that is caused by urban pollution, and also sulphate-rich soil along with groundwater that is found across numerous locations of India. These environmental conditions have gone on to show material degradation and also decrease the long-term structural durability.
It is worth noting that the Nuvoco Concreto Tri Shield goes on to offer quite extensive durability protection due to three integrated mechanisms. The chloride shield lessens the chloride penetration by 50% as compared to the conventional concrete, hence in a way protecting reinforcement steel from getting corroded. The Carbonation Shield goes on to decrease the rate of carbonation, hence preserving the steel passivity and also achieving a 50% lower carbonation depth vis-a-vis normal concrete. Moreover, the sulfate shield goes on to resist sulfate-induced expansion and also cracking in the foundations and basements as well as soil-contact parts, thereby resulting in a 50% reduction when it comes to sulfate expansion as compared to the ordinary concrete.
All put Together, these three defensive mechanisms go on to function synergistically to enhance the overall durability, therefore extending the structure’s service life by 50%, which is above the conventional concrete. This kind of performance has been validated by the Construction Development and Innovation Centre – CDIC of
Nuvoco, which is NABL-accredited and also aligned with the IS 456, IS 516, ASTM C1202, and ASTM C1012/C1012M durability benchmarks, along with advanced simulations by way of making use of sophisticated modeling software. Due to a robust emphasis on durability, resilience, and, of course, lifecycle value, Nuvoco Concreto Tri Shield goes on to stand out as a dependable alternative for consumers who are looking out for long-term protection along with performance.
The Head of Marketing, Innovation, and Sales Excellence with Nuvoco Vistas Corp. Ltd., Chirag Shah, said that Nuvoco Concreto Tri Shield goes on to reflect their push and commitment to creating customer value by way of innovations that address certain real on-the-ground construction issues. As premature deterioration of structures goes on to become quite an increasing concern, this kind of solution, which is powered by its distinct Tri Shield formulation, has been engineered to upgrade durability, extend the service life, and also prolong the repair cycles. The product, he adds, is very well suited when it comes to captive use and also leased assets like commercial complexes, hospitals, hotels, and also educational institutions. The launch, he says, reinforces the customer-centric approach by Nuvoco so as to deliver high-performance, dependable, and also future-ready building offerings.
