ABSTRACT: LithTec is a blended binder developed over a 20-year period to provide a strong durable base. LithTec will achieve an unconfined compressive strength of 400 psi or greater, an elastic modulus of 500,000 psi or greater and yet does not get shrinkage cracking. LithTec bases have been tested to have negligible swelling when saturated for 96 hours and to be extremely resistant to freeze-thaw damage. Additionally, LithTec has been tested to be resistant to highly soluble sulfate soils.
