Concrete Environmental Benefits
Hycrete eliminates a broad range of environmentally undesirable effects, quantified in the model below. See how Hycrete could impact your project.
| Use of Hycrete typically eliminates: | |
|---|---|
| VOC | 61 LBS |
| Asphalt | 900 LBS |
| Non-Renewable Materials | 141,527 LBS |
| Polymer | 47,813 LBS |
| Toluene | 9 LBS |
| Petroleum Lubricating Oil Base | 6 LBS |
| Chlorobenzotriflouride | 23 LBS |
| Paraffinic | 0 LBS |
| Rubber/Latex | 0 LBS |
| Man Hours | 1,261 LBS |
| Landfill Waste | 184,346 LBS |
| Concrete Re-used | 9,240 LBS |
| This impact is calculated based on elimination of the following membrane alternatives: | |
|---|---|
| Item Description | Membrane Eliminated |
| G2 Below grade 12" walls | Bentonite |
| Mat Slab | Bentonite |
| G1 Walls | Bentonite |
| G1 SOG Puddle 3' | Polymeric Roll |
| Top of G1 and G2 walls puddle | Bentonite |
Environmentally Negative Impact Eliminated
Hycrete, by eliminating adhered membranes, makes concrete easier & more practical to recycle. In some jurisdictions, Hycrete will be the factor that allows recycling.
NOTE: Hycrete has compiled data from six industry-leading concrete waterproofing membranes/coatings using public product data and materials safety data sheet information in order to quantify the environmental savings.
