Klantcasestudy: Toepassing van lithiumcarbonaat in de bouwsector in Zuidoost-Azië
A leading construction company in Malaysia, specializing in infrastructure projects, faced stringent requirements for concrete durability due to Southeast Asia’s hot, humid climate and local aggregate properties.
Challenge
The client identified a risk of alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in aggregates, which could cause concrete cracking and compromise structural stability. Traditional solutions fell short of meeting sustainability needs.
Solution
The client partnered with EASTCHEM, a professional chemical materials supplier, to incorporate Lithium Carbonate as a concrete admixture to effectively suppress ASR.
Implementation
Our technical team analyzed the client’s needs, optimized the concrete mix design to maximize Lithium Carbonate’s effectiveness, and provided expert guidance.
Results
Technical Outcome: Lithium Carbonate reduced concrete expansion to 0.04%, well below the ASR risk threshold.
Project Outcome: Structural durability met international standards.
Economic and Environmental Benefits
Initial costs rose by approximately 5%, but the extended lifespan minimized long-term maintenance expenses while reducing resource waste, supporting green construction goals.
Client Feedback
“EASTCHEM’s Lithium Carbonate solution addressed our concerns and ensured project quality.”
