National business development manager Brian Salazar says the company works with its clients to provide a wide range of products and services to meet changing technolo- gies and increasing demands of the diverse industry. “Self-consolidating concrete is a growing demand in many markets,” he says. “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 characteristics users have demanded. Euclid also works with customers to create concrete products that will set up and flow faster. Euclid has met another growing industry demand with its unique form liners, Salazar says. These decorative con- crete forms can mimic stone or brick work and use patented keystone features to break up form lines for a more natural look. They 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.” He says the company is also working to respond to an- other industry demand – the need for Environmental Prod- uct Declarations (EPDs). “EPDs and HPDs (Health Product Declarations) for our admixtures will be another growing demand as the requirement for sustainability in projects grows. We already have a good sustainability program in place, including waste and water, and are committed to meeting this new demand.” 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).
