Today, Euclid’s national business develop- ment manager, Brian Salazar, says the company works with its clients to provide a wide range of products and services to meet changing technologies and increasing demands of the diverse industry. “Self-consolidating concrete is a big demand now in many markets. We use viscosity modifiers like Visctrol and Plastol 6400 to make concrete flowable and cohesive to allow it to flow into small or heavily reinforced areas to meet the demands of challenging projects.” He notes this is just one of the workability characteris- tics users have demanded. Euclid also works with cus- tomers to create concrete products that will set up and flow faster. Salazar says Euclid has met another industry demand with its unique form liners. These decorative concrete forms he says can mimic stone or brick work and use a patented keystone feature to break up form lines for a more natural look and can be used on everything from bridge work to walls. “We have other unique products including shrinkage re- ducing admixtures and shrinkage compensating admix- tures that reduce cracking, particularly in flatwork.” Salazar says the company is also working to respond to another industry demand – the need for Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). “We’re working on EPDs and HPDs (Health Product Declarations) for our admixtures and already have a good sustainability program in place includ- ing waste and water.” Euclid is a member of several industry associations in- cluding the Canadian Precast Prestressed Concrete Asso- ciation (CPCI), the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA), The American Concrete Institute (ACI) and the National Precast Concrete Association (NPCA).
