Instead, it dries evenly throughout the slab \u2013 which means virtually no curling or shrinking. The mix delivers finished strengths of up to 8,000 psi.<\/p>\n<h2>Easy placement with standard tools, methods<\/h2>\n<p>Crews can place Aridus with the same tools and techniques used for any low water-cement ratio concrete. The mix pumps smoothly and can be finished with standard equipment, including laser screeds, conventional vibratory screeds, pan floats and power trowels.<\/p>\n<p>This proprietary product will soon be available in Illinois, northern Indiana and Wisconsin exclusively from Prairie Material, notes Marketing Manager\u00a0<strong>Brad Huiner<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>When it\u2019s installed in conformance with outlined procedures, Aridus is also guaranteed by US Concrete to meet specific performance standards for 10 years, Huiner notes.<\/p>\n<h2>Competitive costs, easy renovations<\/h2>\n<p>Along with speed and ease of project completion, owners and contractors will like the competitive pricing, Huiner says. \u201cOn a per-square-foot basis, Aridus compares very favorably with topical solutions while delivering greater assurance against moisture problems,\u201d he reports.<\/p>\n<p>Another advantage for owners: with Aridus, renovations are fast and easy. Flooring can be replaced without tearing off and reinstalling moisture barriers, saving money and enabling new tenants to move in sooner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a number of major contractors who are eager to use Aridus on upcoming projects,\u201d says Huiner. \u201cWe\u2019re confident this innovative product will become another valuable tool our customers will use in fast-track construction.\u201d\u00a0\u200b<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Builders of industrial, residential and retail projects know the problem all too well.
