Alchemy of Architecture
Presented by: Dave Kimball, Technical Specialist- Building Envelope | PROSOCO
Rapid changes in material chemistry leave many specifiers and architects in the dark about material compatibility. It can be difficult to make educated design decisions when many of these new products do not have a history of performance and we are forced to rely solely on a manufacturer’s warranty. Gain practical advice from a chemist with nearly 40 years of experience helping non-chemists understand how chemistry influences things that happen in construction.
