Introducing The Leviev CA Technology
The CA Technology is a new series of products developed by TerraFusion designed for the concrete and masonry industries
Leviev CA Max increases compressive strength of concrete mix
Leviev CA SR virtually eliminates concrete shrinkage
US demand for cement and concrete additives is forecast to advance 6.8 percent annually (including price increases) to $1.8 billionin 2008. Growth will be driven by an acceleration in construction spending (which will boost cement usage) as well as by increasedadditive loadings. Source: The FreedoniaGroup, Inc.

Leviev CA SR Competitive Landscape
The market for shrinkage inhibitors is dominated by the product offerings of the two largest concrete admixture distributors, MasterBuildersand Grace.TetraGuard, sold by MasterBuilders, retails at $49.99 per gallon. Average utilization is ¾gallon per yard of concrete.
Eclipse Plus, sold by Grace, retails at $45.99 per gallon. Average utilization is ¾gallon per yard of concrete.
Shrinkage Market Examples
No Official Industry Statistics Available- Untapped Market Potential
- Discussions with Ready Mix Producers
- Phone calls to MasterBuilderssales reps
- Euclid actively seeking formulation
- On average, 4% to 8% of all mixes use a shrinkage reducing admixture (avg. $100,000 to $500,000 per year per plant)
- One transaction required $5 million sale over 2 years
- Movement to require use of shrinkage reducing admixtures
- Potential to spread to other states
Leviev CA SR Advantage
- Leviev CA SR saves users over $15 per yard of concrete
- Reduces shrinkage up to 50% more than competition
- Unlike competition, can be used in conjunction with other concrete additives
- Leviev CA SR increases compressive strength while competition decreases compressive strength
