Fast-curing concrete is also green

Aug. 11, 2010

High-performance structural concrete cures to compressive strengths of more than 3,000 psi in less than six hours. Unlike portland cement, RediMax remains in an un-reacted state until water and the RediMax admixture are introduced, providing improved schedule flexibility and eliminating the possibility of material loss due to the standard 90-minute water-to-discharge constraint. The concrete contains 30-95% industrial waste materials and is manufactured using a low-energy, power-blending process, eliminating approximately one ton of CO2 from being emitted into the atmosphere when compared to the traditional portland cement manufacturing process, according to the maker.
