?? Happy Friday!?? We're excited to share some great results from our recent testing with Schuster Concrete! Schuster Concrete recently evaluated SusMaX's lightweight aggregate, SPORA, for internal curing applications. Two types of concrete mixes were prepared: a typical control mix and a mix with a 15% replacement of coarse aggregates using saturated SPORA. The SPORA-incorporated concrete achieved a 17% higher slump, enhancing workability due to SPORA's spherical shape and low surface-to-volume ratio. Additionally, SPORA-incorporated samples achieved 14% and 22% higher strength at 7 and 28 days, respectively. This increase in early-age strength is due to SPORA's 25% absorption capacity, providing extra water for cement hydration. These promising results highlight SusMaX's lightweight aggregate product potential to significantly improve concrete performance in internal curing applications.

SusMaX was thrilled to conduct lightweight aggregate trials in collaboration with Schuster Concrete. Our team, including founder Mo Balapour, Ph.D., and Robin Deb, Ph.D., visited Schuster Concrete to test our innovative aggregates in concrete applications. We were also excited to connect with Henry Prenger, P.E., FACI of Holcim US. We extend our gratitude to Robert Buelt for facilitating this trial and making it possible. At SusMaX, we transform unrecycled waste products from coal-fired power plants, such as off-sec Fly Ash and Bottom Ash, into unique lightweight aggregates suitable for concrete. These waste products, often deemed unsuitable for traditional uses such as supplementary cementitious materials, and are repurposed to create sustainable building materials. Our collaboration with Schuster Concrete, a leader in sustainable materials, marks an important step in our commercialization efforts. We are excited to be working with Schuster Concrete, contributing to the advancement of environmentally friendly construction practices, and pushing the boundaries of sustainable material technology.

We are thrilled to extend a warm welcome to Robin Deb as the newest addition to our team, stepping into the role of Head of Product Development. Robin’s exceptional background in sustainable concrete products adds?tremendous value to the team. Welcome aboard, Robin Deb!
