30 – September 2016 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report
marketplace, and continues to adapt its offerings and serv-
ices to meet industry demands.

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). For more information, visit www.euclidchemical.com.
