Inside the Mix – Understanding additives in 3D printed concrete
3D printed concrete offers the potential for quick sustainable construction
Valida is a unique fibrillated cellulose that forms an extensive 3D network in water via a combination of hydrogen bonding and mechanical entanglement. Able to stabilise both solid particles and oil droplets in suspension, Valida improves in-can stability, reduces cracking during drying, and adjusts open time in addition to imparting thixotropy.
Learn more about the benefits of Valida in the below video from SAPPI.
