Recron© 3s, the New Generation
"Secondary Reinforcement" for Construction
Industry
Today, concrete is used in a variety of
innovative designs because of its many valuable
properties such as high compressive strength,
stiffness, low thermal and electrical
conductivity and low combustibility and
toxicity. However, concrete is also known to be
brittle and weak in tension and develops cracks
during curing, due to thermal expansion and
contraction over a period of time.
The recent development of Secondary
reinforcement in Concrete in various fields has
provided a strong technical base for improving
these deficiencies.
Reliance brings you the cutting edge
technology via Recron© 3s, a speciality
secondary reinforcement material developed after
extensive research at Reliance Technology
Centre.

Applications
- PCC & RCC, plastering
- Shotcrete & Ginniting
- Slabs, Footings, foundations, walls and
tanks
- Pipes, burial vaults, pre-stressed beams etc
- Concrete blocks, Railway slippers, Manhole
covers & tiles etc
- Roads & pavements
- Bridges and dams
Advantages of Recron© 3s
Controls Cracking
- Prevents the shrinkage cracks developed
during curing, making the
structure/plaster/component inherently stronger.
- Arrests cracking caused by volume change
(expansion & contraction).
Reduces Water
Permeability
- Prevents water or moisture from entering and
migrating throughout the concrete.
- Helps prevent the corrosion of steel used
for primary reinforcement in the structure,
improving the longevity of the structure.
Reduces Rebound Loss and
Brings Direct Saving & Gain
- Recron© 3s
reduces rebound "splattering" of concrete and
shotcrete.
- TThe raw material wastage reduces &
results in direct saving in terms of raw
material.
- The wastage of raw material reduces
resulting in direct saving over and above cost
of Recron© 3s.
Increases
Flexibility
Safe And Easy To
Use
- Recron© 3s
is environmental friendly and non hazardous.
- TIt easily disperses and separates in the
mix.
Economical
- Only 0.2-0.4% by cement Recron© 3s is sufficient for
getting the above advantages. Thus it not only
pays for itself, but also results in net gain.
Dosage
Rate
Standard Dosage: Optimised as
per application. Recommended dosages are as
follows:
- 125gm pouch / 50 kg bag of cement
- 909 gm pouch / 1 cubic meter of concrete
Field results show that even with a small
dosage (e.g. 125 gms per bag of cement weighing
50 Kgs - 0.25%) there is tremendous improvement.

Direction for use
Recron© 3s is very easy to use -
even for an unskilled mason.
A)
Manual Mixing - In case of manual mixing,
for best results, mix the contents of pouch in water
(say 125gm in 30 litres). Stir and Mix.
B)
Site mix
C) Ready
Mix
