CAPSTONE S-560
S-560 represents the extremely high strength gypsum, which is exclusive in capping gypsum application. Many government critical construction in Taiwan requested S-560 as the capping material. Such as the Taiwan High-Speed Rail, highway and bridge construction, etc. The extremely high strength gypsum S-560 is believed to be a trend in the near future.
The water to gypsum ratio for S-560 is recommended to be 17-18%. After simply mixing with water, the gypsum is ready to use immediately and will fully harden after approximately 30 minutes. It will reach the strength over 560 kgf/cm2, equal to 8000psi.
Compressive Strength Data
Compressive Strength and Maximum Thickness of Capping Materials
| Cylinder Compressive Strength kgf/cm2 (psi) | Maximum Thickness Average Thickness of Cap | Maximum Thickness Any Part of Cap |
|---|---|---|
| 560 kgf/cm2 (8000 psi) | 3 mm | 5 mm |
Remark
- According to the regulations of U.S. ASTM C617 standard, it is allowed to use high strength gypsum in capping cylindrical concrete specimens. Compared with other methods, gypsum capping is the most convenient, efficient, rapid, and safest capping method.
- TAIWAN CAPSTONE uses 100% pure gypsum to produce the high strength capping gypsum without adding extra filler. This procedure conforms to the regulations of ASTM C617 5.3.1 standard.
