IPANEX reduces the ability of chlorides and water to penetrate concrete surfaces and structures, which delays the onset of corrosion and increases the design life of bridges.  A recent study of I-99 bridge decks showed that IPANEX had the potential to extend the design life of a bridge deck to 100 years.   Cement Chemistry Systems announces completed expansion. February 12, 2009 Philadelphia, PA - Concrete admixture provider, Cement Chemistry Systems (CCS), updated suppliers and customers on the state of the concrete admixtures business.  "No doubt, the current economic environment is challenging." said Eric Dirks, President, CCS.  "IPANEX continues to lead by example in the concrete admixtures space.  Our products are specified in today's leading commercial and infrastructure projects, and we are well positioned as a small business to respond to infrastructure project demands going forward."  Dirks continued by saying, "As a leading manufacturer of concrete admixtures, our proof of performance is clear in the thousands of structures we have protected over the last 30 years.  Distributors and engineers must agree, as our Nationwide network continues to expand, in addition to the increase in the projects we are specified on."
