The Science of Surfaces
When we speak about the quality and reliability of our concrete-alternative repair and restoration products, we’re not only speaking from years of experience, but also on factual data gathered through our scientific approach to improving concrete surfaces.
Compression Strength
Our epoxy is unequivocally much stronger than concrete, proven by compression strength testing. Compression strength is the capacity of a material to withstand a constant load, or resist compression. Once a material hits its compressive limit, it tends to fracture or irreversibly deform.
We use state-of-the-art testing equipment in our in-house lab to measure compressive strength of our own epoxies compared to that of other materials being used on the market. We can also test materials in the field to determine their strength.
While standard commercial concrete is around 4,000-4,500 psi, our epoxy mortar systems are conservatively 10,000 psi, or two- to three-times stronger.
