UK and Minova Partner on New Concrete for Damaged Structures

The University of Kentucky Center for Applied Energy Research and Minova North America developed a new fast-drying, ultra-quick setting concrete product. Trademarked as Tekcrete Fast and Tekcrete Fast M, the product will be used by the mining industry and civil engineers to immediately stabilize damaged infrastructure. The research and joint patent leading to the Minova license began in 2009 when CAER partnered with Minova on a project for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Science & Technology Directorate. This ongoing project for stabilization of shock-damaged structures is managed by the National Institute for Hometown Security in Somerset, Ky.
