ANNOUNCE: New Concrete Technology for increased abrasion resistance (can be used w/ air entrained mixes)
Peter Corry
A NEW CONCRETE ADDITIVE FOR ABRASION RESISTANCE OF CONCRETE
- COMPATIBLE WITH AIR-ENTRAINED CONCRETE
Erosion of concrete surfaces through mechanical erosion (direct or
water-borne) leads to deterioration of the concrete and exposure of steel
reinforcement, necessitating frequent, costly repair works. Conventional
"hardening admixtures" used to increase abrasion resistance of concrete,
such as dry-spread surface hardeners, are unsuitable for air-entrained
concrete in exterior applications. Attempts to use other admixtures or
pozzolan additives to increase concrete hardness in external applications
have proven costly and problematic without attaining the desired effect.
HARD-CEM is a new, engineered product that provides concrete with
significantly increased hardness and abrasion resistance, while also
providing ease of application and labor savings.
HARD-CEM is not a chemical admixture, but rather a functional filler
additive and, therefore, can be used in any concrete mix / composition with
no effect on other concrete qualities such as air entrainment. HARD-CEM is
a powder material and is added to the concrete during batching or mixing
(usage: 40kg/m3 or 67.4lb/yd3), providing consistent quality and
through-hardening of the concrete with significant labor savings.
HARD-CEM is excellent for applications requiring mechanical or erosion
protection such as:
a.. industrial floors and warehouses;
b.. parkades, bridges and interchanges;
c.. dams, dykes, spillways, stilling basins, flumes, pipes, penstocks,
hydro-turbine chambers, revetments, and breakwaters; and
d.. precast concrete pipe and vaults.
Cementec Industries Inc. (est. 1987) is an award-winning developer,
manufacturer and distributor of engineered materials based in Calgary,
Alberta, and a member of the PILDYSH Group of Companies. HARD-CEM is
available now in 40kg bags or in bulk shipment throughout North America.
