Inside the Mix – Understanding additives in 3D printed concrete
3D printed concrete offers the potential for quick sustainable construction
Jake studied Chemistry at the University of Swansea and graduated in 2020. He then stayed on at Swansea to do an EngD working on developing sustainable paint coatings for coil-coated steel. His work included synthesis based on renewable materials to replace fossil-derived polyesters and the introduction of bio-derived additives such as waxes and matting agents into paint formulations. Jake wanted to use the skills and technical expertise he had gained from his degrees in a different setting so has joined the Lawrence Team to put them to good use in talking to customers about their project chemistry and the chemistry of products that could help them.
We're thrilled to have Jake in the team and wish him every success at Lawrence.

Expandable graphite and Quarzwerke minerals can be used to enhance flame-retardant systems for EV safety.
High Temperature Expandable Graphite from LUH is able to be used in thermoplastics without expanding during the extrusion process.
