Latex Modified Concrete (LMC) was specifically designed by Dow Chemical Company over 45 years ago as a concrete bridge deck overlay material to withstand the harsh thin bonded overlay environment. LMC Overlays have been used to preserve bridge decks by many owners through these years resulting in long term maintenance free life cycles. Many LMC Overlays are still in service after 35 years.
The longevity of bridge deck LMC Overlays is directly related to locating and removing all unsound concrete from the structural bridge deck slab and placing the LMC on a very clean & bondable water saturated surface and performing the curing properly.
