ULTIMATE SOLUTION
WHAT IS DURAFLEX®?
Duraflex® is a blend addition to cement used in compaction of native soils.
In combination with OPC cement, (portland cement. Combination of pulverized clinker, essentially made up of hydraulic calcium silicates, and calcium sulfate.) Duraflex® generates a totally waterproof structure with high strength and resistance to bending and high workability.
In addition, without technical competition in the market, the product is fully suitable for soil stabilization, brick production at room temperature (without finishing in ovens) and concrete improvement, changing the hydration form and creating a structure with compaction resistance and Highly superior flexibility.
The product also has all the characteristics suitable for being considered “green”, without environmental impact. Duraflex® Solutions is a company originally from Canada with shipments to the whole world from the port of Vancouver.
Special features
The main attributes of Duraflex® for soil stabilization are:
- Reduction of fissures and cracks in concrete.
- Slump Reduction.
- Resistant to acids and oxidation.
- Minimize permeability.
- Increases resistance to heavy loads.
- It allows to operate in soils with IP (index plasticity) greater than 40%.
- Retains cement content by 20-25% (#C reduction).
- Generates resistance to water with salt content.
- Increased durability and increased v.u.
The product is unique in its inhibition of fulvic and carbonic acids, allowing the improvement of the hydration process. Thanks to a hexagonal crystalline intercalation, the bonding properties between all types of native soils are improved, consequently improving compressive strength and healing times.
With Duraflex the type of floor is not important. The cost of materials and construction times are significantly reduced, with savings of at least 30% compared to conventional construction.
Subgrade preparation and granular base preparation are completely eliminated. The layers and substrates need less thickness, to obtain the required resistance, in addition to improving the useful life expectancies of the final construction.
Other features of Duraflex® include:
- No grooves.
- No ripples.
- It doesn’t soften due to fluctuations in ambient humidity.
- No need for additional flushes.
- No need for anti-capillary layers (geotextiles).
- Costs reductions for excavation and transportation of materials necessary for conventional construction.
- Soil curation and disposal of hazardous materials.
Construction times are greatly reduced with Duraflex as a soil stabilization addition. Almost all of the native soils can be used for compaction without the need to haul coarse. Studies in works already carried out showed installation times of 1km of street in 1.5 days against the conventional 5-7 days.
Savings are generated thanks to:
- Reduction of costs of excavation, transport and filling of work.
- Reduction of substrate materials and anti frost.
- Reduction of inputs (aggregates) and filling material.
- Possibility of avoiding deep foundations.
- Shorter settling times.
- Stabilization and immobilization achievable in a single process.
We are finding excellent results on highly plastic roads, with enormous soil movement and compaction costs: thanks to our product, several clients are finding the definitive solution.

This is how Duraflex® works
Bricks and Duraflex®
Trials in different markets have proven the possibility of producing bricks with high resistance to compaction and strong interlocking of materials with the special addition of Duraflex®
Special Curing
Interlocking of materials with the addition of Duraflex® cured at room temperature, avoiding the use of ovens and bonfires in the production process.
Environmental Care
Duraflex® it’s the one and only 100% green addition on the market (free of chlorides). As well as avoiding the use of ovens and bonfires improves the environmental impact.
Environmental Impact
Thanks to his formulation, plus not using ovens and the consequent CO2 emission, and for the reduction of required materials and their transportation to the production site.
