    Technical Seminar: Green Sense® Concrete Technology

    David Bowerman, Tuesday 18th, 12.00, Dubai C (Show Floor)
    BASF Admixtures expert will talk about Green Sense® Concrete Technology at the International Concrete Technical Forum. This service package from BASF helps manufacturers improve the performance characteristics of concrete such as resilience, workability, durability and its impact on the environment. It comprises three components: the optimization of the concrete mix design by BASF experts, the use of hyperplasticizers from BASF such as MasterGlenium®, and an eco-efficiency analysis of the concrete mix. The analysis serves to ascertain economic and ecological performance criteria of the concrete in comparison to traditional concrete mix designs.

    Workshop: Innovative Floor Zone Advancements – cement based solutions for early return to service

    S. Arbuckle, Tuesday 18th, 17.00-18.00, Sharjah D (Mezzanine Level)
    BASF's 'Innovative Floor Zone Advancements - cement based solutions for early return to service' CPD, takes a closer look at origins of floor finish failures that emanate from well below the floor surface in the concrete base itself. After identifying and repairing the root cause of the failure, the priority moves on to selecting the most appropriate compatible system solution to get the condemned area back into service as quickly as possible, whilst reducing the risk of similar failures re-occurring. This system will be later demonstrated by the Technical Services team.
