MS-D3 Mining Shotcrete
Accelerated, silica fume enhanced, pre-packaged shotcrete material for dry process applications.
MS-D3 Mining Shotcrete is a pre-blended, pre-packaged dry process shotcrete material containing high early Portland cement, silica fume, set time accelerator, blended aggregates and other carefully selected components. MS-D3 Mining Shotcrete has greatly enhanced shooting characteristics providing reduced setting times and rapid strength development.
