It cannot be eaten by termites, does not burn or contribute to the spread of fire, does not host a variety of insects, other organisms or fungi, is hurricane proof, meets the highest seismic rating for residential construction, provides its own insulation, is supplied pre-finished in a choice of over 100 designs, textures and colors. Unlike ordinary concrete, Herculete has a lightweight closed cell structure that is micro-reinforced with uniformly distributed synthetic fibers. Herculete can be used in virtually any pre-cast concrete application.
Ordinary concrete is made with cement and aggregates, typically crushed stone is used as a filler.
Herculete eliminates the fillers, reinforces the cement with fibers and expands it with uniformly dispersed air cells. The micro reinforcement gives Herculete incredible toughness. The air cells provide superb insulating qualities, convenient lightness and easy usability. Although it has extraordinary physical properties, Herculete is made from commonly used time-proven building materials. The unique and innovative combination of these materials results in Herculete's exceptional physical properties.
