Hydrodemolition company Aquajet plans to launch two robots in April: the Aqua Cutter 450A and Aqua Cutter 450V.The new electric 450 series is a more compact, maneuverable design than the Aqua Cutter 750V. The new models incorporate the Evolution 3.0 control system and the patented Infinity oscillation system.Despite their reduced size, they can handle reaction forces up to 1400N, making them highly effective in confined spaces without compromising performance.Like all Aqua Cutter robots…

Cortec has introduced MCI-2018 V/O: a higher viscosity version of MCI-2018 sealer for vertical and overhead applications.  This line of water repellants is composed of 100 percent active silane. MCI-2018 V/O is designed to chemically react with concrete surfaces to form a strong bond with the substrate. The product creates a hydrophobic layer, intended to repel water and keeps chlorides out without affecting the moisture vapor transmission of the concrete. The Migratory Corrosion Inhibiting (MCI) molecules contained in MCI-2018 V/O penetrate the pores to adsorb underlying metal reinforcement and protect from corrosion. MCI-2018 V/O has been tested by AMEC Laboratory and is certified to comply with Alberta DOT standards for type 1B and 1C penetrating sealer.
