CeraTech's ekkomaxx(TM) Cement Earns ICC-ES Evaluation Report
Certified as the First Non-Portland Cement to Meet Industry Standards for Use in Construction Applications
(firmenpresse) - ALEXANDRIA, VA -- (Marketwired) -- 10/21/15 -- ekkomaxx™ cement, manufactured by CeraTech Inc., recently received an evaluation report from (ICC-ES), providing evidence that the industry's first non-portland, green cement system complies with the 2012 International Building Codes (IBC) and the 2012 International Residential Code (IRC). Building officials, architects, contractors, specifiers and designers can utilize ICC-ES Evaluation Reports to provide a basis for using or approving ekkomaxx™ in construction projects under the ASTM C150 standard.
ICC-ES President Shahin Moinian explains why ICC-ES certification is so important. "CeraTech can now reference the evaluation report to ensure building officials and the building industry that the product meets I-Code requirements," Moinian said. "Building departments have a long history of using evaluation reports, and ICC-ES operates as a technical resource with the highest quality of product review for the building department. Final approval of building products is always in the hands of the local regulatory agency."
ICC-ES thoroughly examined CeraTech's product information, test reports, calculations, quality control methods and other factors in accordance with ICC-ES Acceptance Criteria AC459 to ensure the product is code-compliant.
"Having ICC-ES validate our cement system as meeting or exceeding ASTM International's C150 standards industry is ground breaking. It sets a new precedent and represents the first time in the construction industry that a better environmental cement technology, our ekkomaxx™ family of high performance cements, has been established as meeting or exceeding the construction standards for Portland cement," explained Jon Hyman, CeraTech's President and CEO.
