Concrete
Concrete is the most widely usedman-made material in the world
Concrete was invented over 2000 years ago
Concrete consists of aggregatesembedded in a hard matrix of cement

The largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world
The Pantheon, Rome:
• Built in AD126
• 43.3m wide, 43.3m high

Reinforced concrete was invented in 1853 by a plasterer from Newcastle called Wilkinson
Reinforced concrete is at the basis of modernurban life
Our cities are built on reinforced concrete

Reinforced concrete continues to be used to create the world’s most impressive structures

Calcium Nitrate
![Page 10: Introduction to calcium nitrate in concreting - Yara NitCal](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012314/5562f347d8b42ad26c8b5692/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Calcium Nitrate was the first synthetic nitrogen fertilizer compound manufactured
…and a key enabler of the surge in agricultural yields achieved during the twentieth century

What is NitCal™?
![Page 13: Introduction to calcium nitrate in concreting - Yara NitCal](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012314/5562f347d8b42ad26c8b5692/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What is NitCal?
Yara’s NitCal provides calcium nitrate for concrete admixtures
NitCal supports concrete chemistry calcium is beneficial for the essential reactions
nitrate is easily integrated into the cement’s crystal matrix

How does NitCal work?
NitCal significantly reduces setting time across a wide temperature range
NitCal increases long-term strength significantly unlike sodium nitrate by formation of additional calcium silicate hydrates
NitCal provides calcium nitrate in an easy to handle and environmentally friendly format
NitCal is chloride free according to industry standards

NitCal reduces time untilsetting by providing additional Calcium. Nitrate is absorbed by AFm later on.

NitCal is available globally and quickly due to Yara’s unique distribution network
NitCal production is ISO certified and its principal source is the Yara plant located in Porsgrunn, Norway
Where is NitCal available?

NitCal is NOT a CE marked admixture and Yara not consumer product producer
NitCal is NOT a hardening accelerator (unwanted overheating is therefore minimized)
NitCal is NOT an activator for granulated slag
What NitCal is NOT?
