FND2 is a sulphate resistant concrete, for when you have sulphate soils or are laying on clay. The minimum cement content of the mix is 330kg per cubic metre. This type of Concrete is often used for foundations of buildings, where it is likely that sulphate containing soil will be present.
Concrete strength: 30N/mm2 at 28 days
Ideal for:
- DC-2 Soils
- All types of unreinforced foundations
The FND3 designation is applied for a designated Concretes that are used in foundation applications where the ground has been found to contain sulphates. These have specified minimum cementitious content (MCC) and water to cement (W/C) ratio and also permit only cement types known to provide appropriate resistance to chemicals found in the ground (primarily sulphates).
