Cemlab is our Research and Development branch where we test and develop new products out of Bi-Product Materials, e.g., Ash, Slag, Clays, or other waste residues. Our primary focus is in assisting businesses with large waste commitments and helping them reduce costs and or monetize a potential reuse product. Our history of developing performance and specialized cementious materials is second to none. We maintain a full lab on site to develop quality control of, Admixtures, Blending Operations, and can perform destructive testing of Concrete Products on our state of the art press. Typical lab tests are for compressive, tensile and ductile strengths. We also test for PH, Absorption and LOI.
