Trinseo, a specialty material solutions provider, announced the release of its Report on Low Temperature Curing of Latex Modified Concrete to better understand the performance of Latex Modified Concrete (LMC) based on Trinseo’s Modifier A / NA Latex Binder when poured at temperatures below current specifications of 50° - 85° Fahrenheit.

The technical report includes strong evidence that LMC can be poured at lower temperatures without compromising performance. This new data provides support for state Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and LMC installers to re-examine temperature specifications and consider expanding the pouring season into the early spring and late fall, when temperatures may fall below 50°F.

“The excellent work of this study originated from conversations with our customers, said Arthas Yang, CASE Global Business Director. “Those conversations revealed a gap and industry need that Trinseo, as an experienced and dedicated supplier to the market for over 50 years, could help to solve.”
