CICO-MS 
High Performance Silica Fume for Concrete

CICO-MS is a dry, compacted, silica fume high performance mineral admixture formulated to produce concrete with special performance qualities. It improves the hardened characteristics of concrete in two ways. Firstly CICO-MS is a chemically active pozzolan, which reacts with the hydrated lime generates from hydration reaction of cement and forms calcium silicate hydrate gel, thus improving the strength and impermeability of the concrete. Secondly, CICO-MS is ultra-fine material that, when added to concrete physically fills the voids between cement particles and provides an extremely dense and impermeable concrete.

This greatly improves cement dispersion. At the start of the mixing process an electrostatic dispersion occurs but the cement particle’s capacity to separate and disperse. This mechanism considerably reduces the water demand in flowable concrete.
Auramix 400 combines the properties of water reduction and workability retention. It allows the production of high performance concrete and/or concrete with high workability.
