Chem-Crete University (CCU) has the goal of providing education, in many forms, to those who would benefit from a deep understanding of concrete including its constituent ingredients, the hydration process and its reactions to stresses and problems during the complete life cycle of concrete.

Specific educational focus is given to the patented, crystalline-based technology used in Chem-Crete products. Understanding how water, in all its forms, is the basis for both the success and failure of concrete is explained in detail. This includes full life-cycle analysis, from achieving more complete hydration to preventing or eliminating common concrete stresses and problems including Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR), cracking, reinforcement corrosion and freeze thaw damage and other many stresses and problems.

Chem-Crete crystalline-waterproofing materials and concrete sealers utilize pore blocking and pore lining with hygroscopicity, hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity, producing unique, high-performance results. Chem-Crete waterproofing materials have been tested through independent laboratory testing companies such as CMT and CTL and through industry-academic cooperation research projects such as University of Texas at Arlington (UTA), University of Missouri – Kansas City (UMKC), City, University of London and Brunel University, London . 

CCU also provides documentation of real-world projects showcasing the range of technology and environmental benefits. More sustainable concrete is safer, in every way, directly reduces carbon footprint, runway and road closures and life cycle maintenance costs. In addition to these wide-ranging benefits, you will learn about several other application-specific benefits such as how the technology reduces ice adhesion to pavement. Concrete with lower ice adhesion results in airport and road authorities using less deicing chemicals, lowering costs, extending life cycle, protecting the environment and improving public safety.
