Developed with the revolutionary ‘Superset Technology’ Duraguard Xtra uses an optimum amount of water to lend the cement enhanced workability, high compaction and optimum setting time through a unique ball-bearing mechanism.
Duraguard Xtra is a cement product featuring ‘Superset Technology,’ a groundbreaking innovation that optimizes water usage to enhance workability, compaction, and setting time. Its uniqueness lies in a unique ball-bearing mechanism that ensures a balance between concrete strength and durability.
How does Duraguard Xtra affect the workability and strength of concrete?
Duraguard Xtra achieves higher workability at a lower Water Cement Ratio, ensuring concrete remains easy to work with while maintaining its strength. It accomplishes this through rounded and uniformly distributed grains and a ‘ball bearing’ action among its particles.
Why is it important to maintain a low Water Cement Ratio in concrete?
A low Water Cement Ratio is essential because an excess of water reduces the compactness of concrete, weakening its compressive strength. Duraguard Xtra’s technology ensures this ratio remains optimal for durability.
How does Duraguard Xtra prevent gaps in concrete?
Traditional concrete may develop gaps as it dries due to water molecule evaporation. Duraguard Xtra, with its unique particle distribution and lower water content, prevents such gaps, ensuring a more solid structure.
Can I achieve the desired workability and strength in concrete without Duraguard Xtra?
Yes, workability and strength can be enhanced with the use of rounded aggregates and ‘Workability Enhancing’ cement or admixtures. However, Duraguard Xtra provides an efficient and innovative solution to achieve both simultaneously.
Is Duraguard Xtra suitable for residential construction?
Yes, Duraguard Xtra is an excellent choice for building your perfect home. Its ability to maintain workability while enhancing strength and durability makes it a valuable companion for residential construction projects.

How does Duraguard Xtra contribute to achieving high-density concrete or mortar?
Duraguard Xtra reduces voids between cement particles, enhancing the density of the concrete or mortar. This results in a more compact and durable structure.
What role does water content play in achieving better workability with Duraguard Xtra?
Less water content is crucial for better workability when using Duraguard Xtra. It allows for the optimization of the aggregate-to-cement ratio, leading to high-density concrete or mortar.
Why is the aggregate/cement ratio important, and how does Duraguard Xtra impact it?
The right aggregate/cement ratio is essential for high-density concrete. Duraguard Xtra, with its unique technology, enables the use of less water while maintaining workability, thus achieving the optimal aggregate/cement ratio.
What is the significance of the size and shape of aggregates when using Duraguard Xtra?
The particles of aggregates should have uneven shapes, including small, big, and medium sizes. They can be angular or rounded but should not be flaky or flat to maximize the benefits of Duraguard Xtra.
How does the grading of cement particles and aggregates affect high-density concrete/mortar?
Proper grading of cement particles and aggregates ensures a consistent mix and helps Duraguard Xtra work effectively, reducing voids and increasing density.
What role does the surface texture of cement particles and aggregates play when using Duraguard Xtra?
The surface texture of these particles influences their interaction within the mix. Duraguard Xtra’s technology optimizes this interaction, minimizing internal friction and enhancing density.
Can the addition of admixtures further optimize workability when using Duraguard Xtra?
Yes, the use of admixtures can complement the benefits of Duraguard Xtra by further improving workability while maintaining high-density characteristics in concrete or mortar.
Is Duraguard Xtra suitable for both residential and commercial construction projects?
Yes, Duraguard Xtra is versatile and can be used in a wide range of construction projects, including residential and commercial applications, where high-density concrete or mortar is desired.
Does Duraguard Xtra require any special mixing or handling instructions?
Duraguard Xtra can be used with standard mixing and handling procedures. However, it’s essential to follow the recommended guidelines for the best results. Detailed instructions can be found on the product packaging or our website.
