STRUCTURE GUARD- UHPC
(Ultra-High-Performance Micro- Concrete)
STRUCTURE GUARD- UHPC is an Ultra-High-Performance Micro -Concrete is a cementitious, fibre-reinforced composite characterized by very high compressive strength, excellent durability, and extremely low permeability. It is typically used for bridge elements, precast components, rehabilitation works, thin sections, and highdurability structure

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is STRUCTURE GUARD – UHPC used for?
Is STRUCTURE GUARD – UHPC suitable for marine and coastal environments?
Yes. STRUCTURE GUARD – UHPC has nil chloride content and extremely low permeability, making it highly suitable for marine and coastal structures where corrosion resistance and durability are essential.
Can STRUCTURE GUARD – UHPC be used for RCC repair and strengthening?
What compressive strength does STRUCTURE GUARD – UHPC achieve?
STRUCTURE GUARD – UHPC achieves a compressive strength of approximately 65 N/mm² at 7 days and up to 110 N/mm² at 28 days, as tested in accordance with ASTM standards.
What is the recommended water ratio for mixing?
The recommended water content is 3.75 to 4 litres per 25 kg bag, mixed mechanically to achieve a homogeneous, free-flowing, and lump-free consistency.
