Nationwide Experts on the Composition of Construction Materials

When you need experts to scientifically investigate construction materials, turn to Chemistry of Concrete. With a combined experience of over 65 years in the chemical and mineralogical analysis of concrete, our scientists can determine concrete failures and how the product is not meeting specifications. Defects and failures usually occur because of one or more internal mechanisms such as expansion, shrinkage, cracking, crazing, corrosion, erosion, water permeability, and DEF, ACR, and ASR. The reason for each of these failure modes is often buried in contract documents and change orders.

Uncovering the Answer—The Concrete’s Chemical Signature

No matter what the failure mode, the answer always lies in the chemical signature of the product. Through established chemical and mineralogical analysis techniques, the scientists at Chemistry of Concrete extract the concrete’s signature and identify what went wrong. Problems identified often include:

• Sulfate Attack
• Chloride Corrosion
• Fallout Contamination
• Fine Filtrate Identification
• Corrosion and Chemical Attack

Delivering Answers Through Specialized Knowledge and Personal Service

At Chemistry of Concrete, our scientists have specialized competency in many areas including:

• X-Ray Analysis
• Electron Microscopy
• Wavelength Dispersive
• Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis

Our service is individualized with personal attention paid to each project. We listen to your problem, identify the chemical signature of your product, and then deliver an expedient answer.
