Since the 2021 presentation “Why Glue Don’t Work,” Chad Bruce has continued to study the impact of curing compounds, bond breakers, and densifiers on the surface-free energy of concrete slabs. In this research, he has found a direct correlation between the quantifiable measurement of surface free energy and the success of adhesives used for forming tilt-up panels. This talk will present findings and create a dialog within the industry that reduces costs and project delays due to incompatible chemical technologies.
ICONX LLC produces and distributes the IconX Shear Connector line. With a new 5"- 6" connector being introduced to the family this year, we are now able to support you on projects with insulation thickness from 2" all the way up to 6" and everything in between, making IconX the smart choice for your high performance insulated wall panels. The foundational goal of the IconX System was to develop a shear connector to make insulated wall panels longer, stronger, and stiffer than previously available. It was also important for the connector to work with any rigid insulation in panels reinforced with mesh or rebar. Due to the composite action that the IconX Shear Connector facilitates between the wythes of concrete, the total concrete thickness can be reduced by 3 to 4 inches over conventional non-composite panel design, saving you material costs and potentially reducing your crane size and footing and foundation sizes. Simply put, we can do more for less. We are committed to helping you have a successful project with us. Contact us by phone or email, or come meet us at the TCA show to discuss what we have to offer.
