Nectarines are often thought to be a cross between a peach and a plum; however that is not the case. In fact, a nectarine is a cultivar of a peach that is bred for less fuzz and more firmness. There is a recessive allele in nectarines that causes the smoother skin. Seeds with the dominant […]
The exothermic chemical reaction that takes place during the mixing of concrete can cause temperatures to exceed 200°F. When concrete is poured at such high temperatures this typically results in reduced tensile strength, tendency to crack, and non-uniformity. This means that high pouring temperatures can lead to low quality finished concrete. SEMCO/SEMCOLD LLC wants to […]
The curing and hardening of concrete is a chemical reaction that occurs via hydration as the cement mix forms strong bonds with water. This chemical reaction is an exothermic reaction, meaning that it gives off heat as a byproduct. For large-pour concrete projects this can result in serious problems as the concrete expands, develops a […]
If you often work with concrete you probably already understand the importance of having a reliable concrete cooling system in place. Otherwise, the high temperatures caused by the exothermic chemical reaction during the production of concrete can cause the final product to be less durable, more susceptible to cracking, non-uniform, and not as strong. However, […]
Concrete cooling systems are extremely important for companies and businesses that work with concrete, especially large-pour projects. During the hydration process, a chemical reaction occurs that is highly exothermic. That means that it releases heat. The temperature can exceed 200°F. When concrete is poured at such a high temperature this can cause major problems. The […]
Keeping your fish properly stored and cooled is extremely important to your livelihood if you are a fisherman.
