Euclid Chemical Introduces Innovative New Bond Breakers for Tilt-Up Construction
30 Julio 2024 - 8:39AM
Euclid Chemical, a leading manufacturer of specialty concrete and
masonry construction products, has announced the launch of EucoTilt
WB and EucoTilt SB, the latest advancements in bond breaker
technology engineered for tilt-up construction.
These two new, patent-pending products are the cornerstone of
Euclid Chemical’s comprehensive tilt-up package, which is designed
to significantly enhance the efficiency, quality and sustainability
of tilt-up concrete construction projects.
EucoTilt SB
Setting a new standard in tilt-up panel production, EucoTilt
SB is a solvent-based bond breaker that features a chemically
reactive, membrane-forming cure. Formulated without wax or
hydrocarbon resins, EucoTilt SB utilizes organic compounds to react
with free lime in concrete casting surfaces, forming amorphous gels
and metallic soaps. This chemical reaction ensures a clean release
of cast panels, minimizing surface defects and eliminating the need
for subsequent repairs. EucoTilt SB’s unique solvent blend enables
rapid drying, even in cool, damp conditions—enhancing on-site
productivity.
EucoTilt
WB
EucoTilt WB offers a water-based bond breaker alternative with
identical chemical reactivity and performance benefits. Like its
solvent-based counterpart, EucoTilt WB contains no wax or
hydrocarbon resins—ensuring compatibility with post-applied
coatings and preventing staining or adhesion issues. It is a
microemulsion featuring an ultra-small particle size, which offers
improved application characteristics and more uniform film
formation on a casting slab—allowing even distribution of active
ingredients. This results in tilt-up panels that not only lift more
efficiently, but maintain a cleaner surface less prone to defects
and residue buildup. An environmentally sustainable choice for
tilt-up construction, it complies with all U.S. EPA and local VOC
regulations, including OTC, LADCO, Maricopa County and California
standards (e.g., CARB, SCAQMD).
Both EucoTilt SB and EucoTilt WB are excellent choices for use
as cure coats, meeting the moisture retention properties of ASTM
C309 when applied to hard-troweled surfaces prepared according to
CEN/TS 14754. Their chemical reactivity with free lime in concrete
enhances wash-off resistance to rain and foot traffic abrasion,
ensuring long-lasting performance.
“We are excited to expand Euclid Chemical’s position as the
leader in concrete flooring products,” said Matt Kwiecien, senior
product manager at Euclid Chemical. “Representing our commitment to
innovation and sustainability in tilt-up construction, our new
EucoTilt bond breakers offer contractors a solution that improves
efficiency and delivers superior results.”
In addition to its new EucoTilt SB and EucoTilt WB bond
breakers, Euclid Chemical’s tilt-up package includes a range of
complementary products such as EucoRepair Smooth repair mortar,
Euco Diamond Hard liquid densifier, QWIKjoint polyurea joint
filler, and wall coatings Tammscoat and Tammolastic. Together,
these products form a comprehensive system designed to support
every stage of tilt-up concrete construction projects—from casting
to finishing.
