Things you might want to know about AddtiX "ST" and AddtiX "IM" ...
THE PRODUCT
Q: What is AddtiX ?
A: AddtiX is a cement additive to be used for the soil stabilization and ground improvement (AddtiX ST) as well as the immobilization of hazardous pollutants in the ground (AddtiX IM).
Q: Is the technology something completely new?
A: AddtiX enhances soil stabilization with cement and the immobilization of hazardous pollutants in the ground. Both procedures in combination with cement are recognized techniques, which are significantly improved by the additional use of AddtiX.
Q: What is AddtiX 's aggregation state?
A: AddtiX is a grayish powder, pretty similar grinded like cement.
Q: Is AddtiX new on the market?
A: No, AddtiX and its predecessor products have been on the market for almost twenty years now. Numerous projects around the world have already been realized using AddtiX and its predecessor products.
THE APPLICATION
Q: What is the dosage of AddtiX ST?
A:It is always 98% cement (portland cement, > 90% clinker ratio) plus 2% AddtiX ST.
Q: How much AddtiX-cement mixture is required for my project?
A: It depends and has to be determined through laboratory tests. The soil of your construction site has to be analyzed and the ideal amount of binding agent AddtiX-cement mixture) has to be determined through suitability tests. It is the same procedure like it is in case of a soil stabilization with cement only or with lime only.
Q: How much AddtiX ST do I roughly need for one squaremeter of surface (35cm soil stabilization per squaremeter)?
A: As a rough guideline: 1 kilogram per square meter.
Q: Do I need special equipment for the application of AddtiX ?
A: The standard equipment for soil stabilization with cement or lime is required, which amongst others is a spreading unit and a rotary tiller.
THE BENEFITS
Q: What is the advantage over conventional gravel layers?
A: Gravel layers require the removal of the existing soil, waste disposal according to the latest environmental regulations and the purchase of filling material. For the AddtiX-cement stabilization (AddtiX ST) and the immobilization of hazardous pollutants (AddtiX IM) you will only need cement and whilst there is no need for any excavation.
Q: What is the advantage over a soil stabilization with cement only?
A: By using AddtiX you can reduce the total amount of cement compared to stabilization with cement only, whilst the strength remains the same. Furthermore AddtiX layers are more durable, waterproof, salt and acid resistant and thus require less maintenance during their lifetime than layers made from cement only.
Q: Is there any other additional advantage?
A: Yes, in fact there is another huge advantage: the use of AddtiX reduces the risks of shrinkage cracks, which leads to a longer lifetime. No additional shrinkage reducing admixtures are necessary. Furthermore, AddtiX permanently immobilizes environmentally hazardous pollutants in the ground.
Q: How is AddtiX's performance compared to competing products?
A: Both products AddtiX ST and AddtiX IM have been tested by different independent laboratories and projects in comparative tests with competing products and our AddtiX products have come out on top of all tests. Furthermore, our AddtiX products are less expensive than the tested competing products.

Q: Why are the AddtiX products not produced in Germany?
A: Most of the substances or raw materials used in the sophisticated mixture of our AddtiX products are unfortunately not found among the mineral recourses within Germany. In order to avoid long transport times from various countries and the risk of different quality each time the raw materials are bought we decided to have our production close to the places where most of the ingredients are available. This has an additional positive effect on the protection of the environment besides less costs for our customers.
