The Future of Concrete Floors
Komponent® Shrinkage-Compensating Cement Additive
Komponent® is a cementitious additive used to create Type K Shrinkage-Compensating Concrete (as defined by ASTM C845).
Unlike traditional portland cement, which inherently loses volume and contracts as it cures, Komponent is engineered to induce a controlled expansion during the hydration process.
When Komponent is added to a concrete mix, it reacts to form ettringite crystals. This formation causes a slight, predetermined expansion of the concrete mass. When this expansion is restrained by internal reinforcement (such as rebar or mesh), it creates a pre-compression in the slab.
As the concrete eventually undergoes drying shrinkage, this built-in "reserve" of compression offsets the tensile stresses that typically lead to cracking.
Specialized Slab Joints
Cosinus Slide® Joint
The Cosinus Slide® is a heavy-duty, armored joint system designed for industrial concrete floors. Unlike traditional straight joints that eventually crumble under the impact of forklift traffic, the Cosinus Slide uses a unique "sinus-on-sinus" geometry to create a seamless transition for wheels.
Traditional floor joints are straight lines. When a forklift crosses them, the wheels momentarily drop into the gap, causing an impact that damages both the floor and the vehicle.
The Cosinus Slide solves this by using two corrugated (wavy) steel plates on top of each other. This ensures that the wheels are always in contact with the floor surface, regardless of the joint's opening width.
