Graphene is known to be 200 times stronger than steel. With the addition of functionalized Graphene - TUFFREL® the Compressive Strength of concrete increases tremendously. TUFFREL® refines the microstructure of concrete, enhances the bonding and also has a filler effect. This paves the way for a stronger and greener concrete.
TUFFREL® improves the flexural strength of concrete thus reducing the need for steel reinforcements in structures. This leads to significant reduction in labor for steel handling and dependence on energy intensive raw materials. TUFFREL® structures embrace Modern innovation for a sustainable future.
TUFFREL® significantly increases the tensile strength of concrete structures. This leads to specialized applications like UHPC for bridges and roads. Higher tensile strength result in thinner & lighter structures which enable more futuristic designs to be created.
TUFFREL® is shown to accelerate the strength gain in concrete. Thus making the construction time faster and improving site capacity by increasing formwork rotation. The wait is over for faster construction!
TUFFREL® reduces the water permeability of concrete thus improving the life of the structure. It reduces the cost of repairs and protects the internal work.
TUFFREL® enhances the durability of concrete by making is stronger, more resistance to weather elements and improving the bonding strength. This increases the structural integrity and life of the concrete construction.
TUFFREL® helps in reduction of cement used in the concrete design without compromising on the mechanical properties and durability. An M40 grade concrete design would require cement of only M25 design to achieve equivalent strength. Reduction in cement reduces the CO2 footprint and leads to greener concrete for a smart and sustainable future.
TUFFREL® is a prime fit for UHPC applications that require extreme strength and durability. TUFFREL® can reduce the amount of steel fibers used in UHPC mixes, thus bringing down the overall cost without compromising on the tensile strength. Addition of TUFFREL® also provides enhanced benefits like reduced water permeability, early strength gain and increased durability.
TUFFREL® superior 7-in-1 properties lead to the construction of “all weather” concrete roads and bridges that last longer and reduce maintenance. TUFFREL® 7-in-1 properties ensures faster construction time with lower cement and steel reinforcement requirement without compromising on the mechanical properties and durability.
TUFFREL® improves strength, durability and life of buildings by making it more weather resistant and maintenance free. The unique combination of 7-in-1 properties lays the foundation for the smart buildings of the future.
TUFFREL® is adaptable for customized High Performance concrete applications like coastal structures, high altitude infrastructure, blast proof structures and extreme weather applications. Its ease of use, versatility and adaptability to any concrete design makes it suitable for customized high performance applications like Pre-cast Concrete Structures, Pre-stressed Concrete Structures, building facades etc.
