King® MS-D1 FSR
Fire-spalling resistant shotcrete material for dry-mix process applications
King® MS-D1 FSR is a pre-blended, pre-packaged, shotcrete mix formulated for dry-mix process applications and engineered to resist fire-induced spalling. It contains Portland cement, silica fume, air-entraining admixture, blended aggregates, along with other carefully selected components, including polypropylene microfibres specifically incorporated to provide fire-spalling resistance. King® MS-D1 FSR offers significantly improved shooting characteristics and enhanced physical properties.
King® MS-D1 FSR provides the following characteristic and benefits:
- Polypropylene microfibers, specifically added to reduce fire-induced spalling, in accordance with ASTM C1116 (Type III)
- Air-entrainment provides superior resistance to freeze-thaw cycling and salt-scaling resistance
- Improved adhesive and cohesive plastic properties
- Significantly reduced rebound, resulting in lower material usage
- Improved ability to build greater thicknesses in a single pass in both vertical and overhead orientations
- Very low permeability
- Low shrinkage
- Designed with natural normal-density non-reactive aggregates to eliminate potential alkali-aggregate reactivity (AAR)
- Allows earlier placement of successive shotcrete lifts
- Improves performance when applied in the presence of running water
- Enables earlier reopening of traffic lanes on bridges and in subway tunnels
