STARcrete™, a STable Acid Resistant, sulfur-based concrete, has extreme corrosion resistance, high physical strength, high fatigue resistance and low water permeability. It is well suited for specific applications where its unique properties are needed.
Both the properties and extreme durability of STARcrete™ result from the incorporation of a small quantity of a proprietary sulfur modifier called STX™. This ingredient prevents the formation of macro sulfur crystals. The result is a concrete based on stable, orthorhombic sulfur with greatly enhanced durability.
For a dramatic comparison between STARcrete™ and Portland cement concrete, view the deterioration photo in the PROPERTIES section.
STARcrete™, and its predecessor, Sulfurcrete® is the original commercial sulfur concrete, developed by Dr. Alan H. Vroom of Sulphur Innovations Ltd., and was first marketed in Canada in 1976.
