When a major concrete association surveyed its members to find out their most frequent and bothersome problems – the number one answer was cracking. Other data also indicates that cracking of concrete due to drying shrinkage is one of the most serious problems encountered in concrete construction. But now there is a user friendly solution. ShrinkGuard Crack-Resistant Low Shrink Concrete is your answer.

The Advantages of ShrinkGuard

Easy-to-finish ShrinkGuard can reduce drying shrinkage and the resultant cracking. Curling will also be reduced, which is a major benefit when high tolerance surfaces are required. These reductions can be achieved without costly construction delays. And, using ShrinkGuard will often increase the suggested spacing between joints to match column lines.

Best of all, this performance can be achieved without any special placement or finishing.
