Economics

Costs vary depending on location, degree of surface preparation, and size and configuration of castings. Chempruf Sulfur Concrete is a competitive alternative to other construction materials for corrosive environments. Normally, the cost of Chempruf Sulfur Concrete is less than the installed cost of acid brick and many coating systems. As a structural material it provides for longer service life and lower cost per year. Fast set times reduce costly factory shut downs during construction.

Although the initial cost is higher than Portland cement concrete, the life cycle cost demonstrates the economic benefit of Chempruf Sulfur Concrete as shown in the life cycle benefit below:
