Workers report concrete cooling they could feel through their boots.
Sweltering summer heat in Atlanta, Georgia is not where you’d expect to hear teammates say “my boots are actually cool right now” while finishing concrete. Yet, finishers couldn’t believe how easy NITROcrete™ was to work with, even with high ambient temperture and low water, high cement content mix design.
