If you were interested in investing in EDE would you;

a) research and discover the admixture market is approx $15 BILLION/year because they are ubiquitous in the industry as the old "standard" mixes just don't cut it in the 21st Century. All plants are capable of adding multiple admixtures with no problems in switching from one to another and none of the admixtures for specification improvements are 'cheap'.

b) listen to some 'expert' who doesn't seem to understand this spamming on about how they could achieve the same as steel fibres in a concrete mix by adding 3g more concrete and 4 less grains of sand in their imagination.

Change is hard. Change in an industry that will cost money if you get it wrong is harder. Have a look at that self-healing concrete that pops up every couple of years in the other thread. It sounds great, it doesn't work. How many products like that are out there? When you really look at it with fresh eyes "Yes, it creates microscopic bonds at the nano scale with CNT" doesn't even sound real. Especially to some rusted on concreter, let alone a bean counter.

The only way forward is proof in the pudding. And it's a slow, torturous for some, process.

But that process is happening. The quarterly is about to come out and it won't blow minds and the FUDsters will come out of the woodwork with their "so what if Covid, winter, the holidays etc etc." I'm looking at all the small (but growing) jobs spreading the word and wondering where the next decent jobs are coming out of to kick up the sales.
