Degussa Admixtures, Inc., Cleveland (www.degussa.com) supplies admixtures that enhance the performance of concrete by ensuring high strength and durability and inhibiting corrosion. Degussa is one of the industry`s leading suppliers of self-consolidating concrete (SCC), which is frequently used in CarbonCast products. As part of AltusGroup`s industry technology partnering effort, Degussa will contribute to the development of innovations in precast concrete, currently centering on the use of carbon fiber reinforcing to improve strength, lower weight and reduce corrosion in precast components. They will also have access to co-marketing opportunities at industry events, AltusGroup educational sessions and advertising in trade publications. During the past three months, AltusGroup has also welcomed Gate Precast as a Senior Member and Heldenfels Enterprises, Inc. as an Associate Member -- both are licensed to manufacture select CarbonCast products in particular geographies -- and Sika and JVI as Industry Members -- technology suppliers who contribute to the improvement of precast performance. CarbonCast uses C-GRID®, a revolutionary resin-bonded carbon fiber grid, as a secondary reinforcement to replace steel mesh and shear trusses in precast concrete products such as architectural cladding, insulated sandwich wall panels, hardwall panels and double tees. CarbonCast technology is also a durable, lightweight alternative for foundations, facades and deck panels on residential structures, such as apartments, hotels and dormitories. Supplied by TechFab, LLC of Anderson, S.C., C-GRID is strong and durable -- has over five times the tensile strength of steel, and will not rust, corrode or cause staining or spalling. About AltusGroup AltusGroup, Inc. is a partnership of several of industry`s largest precasters and C-GRID developer, TechFab LLC; it was formed to make CarbonCast technology, and other future innovations, available throughout North America. CarbonCast is an innovative precast technology that uses conventional steel for primary reinforcing and C-GRID for secondary reinforcing and shear transfer. It provides long-term durability, lighter weight, finer finishes, improved insulating properties and better sustainability than regular concrete.
