Chempruf sulfur concrete, unlike portland cement concrete, has no capillary porosity and consequently, sulfur concrete is completely impervious to liquids and gases.
Since sulfur concrete contains no water, it can be poured at temperatures below zero.
This tank farm is well protected with Chempruf sulfur concrete and was constructed during a short shut down schedule.
Previous attempts to protect concrete structures with coatings had failed. Prior to Chempruf Concrete, no reliable means of containment was available.
Chempruf sulfur concrete is resistant to acids and salts. After 14 days in a 10% solution of hydrochloric acid Chempruf Concrete is completely untouched, whereas ordinary Portland
cement concrete is heavily damaged. Chempruf sulfur concrete is used in aggressive environments where Portland cement concrete and other construction materials disintegrate.
This comparison demonstrates the versatility of Chempruf Concrete. Structural applications include floors, foundations, piers, and equipment pads,
as well as precast or prestressed applications. This 100-foot prestressed pile is suitable for support of seawater docks or corrosive soils.
