We have heard that there were cases of Chemcrete not working?
When Chemcrete was first introduced to the market in the 1970’s, it was originally used in both wearing courses and in base/binder courses. In some of the wearing course implementations, there were cases where cracking took place. It was soon discovered that since the Chemcrete reaction was dependent on Oxygen, the wearcourse was continuing to react as it was exposed to oxygen. Since the wearcourse was less than 4 Inches (which is now the minimum thickness of a basecourse for IntegraBase,) it became too strong and cracked. As soon as this was discovered, Chemcrete was never used in another wear course. To date, there has never been a problem with an IntegraBase or Chemcrete modified base/binder course.
