The versatility of FUSION-CRETE® products makes possible the performance of an extraordinarily wide range of applications. The vast majority of our business is with municipalities and government agencies, primarily Public Works and Street Maintenance Departments, Flood Control Districts, Parks and Recreation Departments, School Districts and Harbor Departments. However, there are numerous additional entities making use of our products. These include Developers, Property Management Companies, Country Clubs, Golf Courses, Industrial Facilities, Airports and a wide variety of Concrete Contractors who specialize in concrete restoration, repair and maintenance work, curb and gutter patching, American Disabilities Act-compliant ramping, stamped concrete installations on existing surfaces and many other applications. Swimming pool contractors in the State of Arizona are now cutting costs dramatically, while increasing durability, using FUSION-CRETE® II CRYSTALS for the plastering and re-plastering of swimming pools, including the repairs of gunite and leaking swimming pools.

FUSION-CRETE® products and technology make it possible to use concrete just as you would use putty in repair work. Repair concrete modified with FUSION-CRETE®'s copolymer products may be applied in any consistency from a wet squeegee mixture to a zero-slump dry pack, may be applied in any thickness down to that of a coat of paint and may be feathered into broken, jagged surfaces and also feathered out to absolute zero with permanent bonding. The incredible adhesive qualities of these products results in the permanent bonding of FUSION-CRETE®-modified cement to concrete, asphalt (at least 120 days old), masonry, tile, metals (including galvanized steel), wood, Fiberglas, Styrofoam, leather and virtually any other surface, with the exception of certain plastics. FUSION-CRETE® copolymer products result in a very substantial increase in the compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength of the concrete with which it is mixed and also increase the abrasive qualities and resistance to chemicals, UV rays, salt, ice, snow, wear and tear, standing water and, generally speaking, the "elements"! Thin (1/16 inch to 1/8 inch), flexible, fully load-bearing, non-slip, watertight coatings may be applied with squeegees, trowels, paint brushes, paint rollers, spray equipment, etc., and may be finished with brooms, brushes, sponges, steel trowels, etc. to virtually any finish desired. Color pigments may be added to the mixtures or the finished concrete may subsequently be colored with liquid dyes and thereafter sealed for optimum protection. When desired, different ratios of regular and white Portland cement may be used in a repair and/or coating mixture in order to match an existing shade of gray or to apply coatings in virtually any shade of gray desired.

These photographs graphically illustrate the incredible flexibility of a thin (1/32 to 1/16 inch) concrete coating applied to 1/8-inch thick Masonite. These coated Masonite boards may be bent and twisted in virtually any direction without cracking or delaminating the concrete coating! This flexibility translates into resiliency and durability of repair and coating applications using our FUSION-CRETE®-modified cement mixtures.
