• ImerFill products are engineered to have a wide range of positive effects on the performance of concrete or mortar.

• The specific designed particle size distribution optimizes particle packing with the other materials in the mix resulting in beneficial effects on green strength, density, and durability through particle void reductions.

• Improved mix fluidity and workability reduces segregation and excessive bleeding contributing to improved surface finishes.

• Reduction in cement content yields various cost benefits in raw material costs, reduced chemical admixtures, and energy required in placing concrete with positive benefits to the environment.

For every 2000 lbs. of cement used, approximately 1800 lbs. of

carbon dioxide is released into our atmosphere. ImerFill products

will reduce your carbon footprint; only releasing 88 lbs. of

carbon dioxide.

ImerFill 3, 15 & 25

HIGH QUALITY, FINE GROUND, WHITE MARBLE FOR THE CONCRETE INDUSTRY.

ImerFill products are finely ground, engineered mineral products that enhance the properties of concrete and other cement-based products. They are produced from high quality white marble reserves in various locations. ImerFill products are not by-products but specifically designed materials to replace a portion of Portland cement in concrete applications. They can also be used as an additive, or to replace fly ash or other cement replacement materials. Strictly controlled particle distribution and sizing ensures consistent performance in every batch of concrete. The white color of ImerFill products improves appearance and aesthetics while improving the consistency of the color of the concrete.

ImerFill ™3 is a fine ground white marble with a high calcium content. It has been manufactured with an engineered particle size distribution beneficial for concrete mixes. The use of ImerFill 3 has been shown to provide savings through reduction in cement and water reducing agents, better rheological properties, reduced segregation, and improved surface finishes. Depending on formulation design, improvements in strength, impact resistance, and durability can also be realized.
