Interesting product though. Does it work by Dexpan™ hardening into a rock/resin and crystalizing at the same time (like freezing water when it takes up more space)?
Yeah, but I was asking about how it works on an aspie level.
Explosives demolish by rapidly increasing in temperature due to exothermic reactions, so they expand as a result (which push stuff outwards), send out shockwaves (which shatter bittle stuff like concrete) and heat up the target (which weakens it).
Obviously it works by expanding, but HOW does it expand? Crystalization? Pushing away the water molecules? Some other odd and fascinating effect?
@ytdcfjhvjvp0j You can say it is "crystalization". Dexpan is a cement product, it dehydrates, expands and cracks concrete or rock without noise, shockwave, air blast, implosion, high temperature, ground vibration or anything like explosives would have. This is why Dexpan is called Non-Explosive Demolition agent. I hope I answered your question, thank you
So the names dexpan yeah? You didn't mention it much.
That aside. For the idiots saying demolitions are quicker your dead wrong. It takes weeks or months to plan it, x2 to set it up, more time getting permits and a shit load of cash paying for the guys to set it up. Oh and 1 second to blow. Then think of insurance costs for damages that can occur.
This only takes drilling, pouring and waiting 24 hours.
@evankoka12 Thanks for your comment. You are right, any experienced demolition contractors know how much can Dexpan save. Especially demolishing large amount of concrete or rock, simply drilling, mixing and pouring, return next morning to see everything is demolished. Safe and quiet, no troubles. Thanks again.
@tripjet999 Thank you for your comment. This is a small-sized concrete block for DEMONSTRATION PURPOSE? at begining of this video, there are many LARGE rock and concrete structures were demolished, imagine using a jack hammer?
I'm really impressed. I've a couple of friends here in Spain that are struggling with big rocks in the houses they are building. I'm going to forward to them this video. I guess that they are going to save a lot of time and money.
lets hope that you don't sell this stuff to teh wrong people and they bring a building or bridge down that has people in it, this product is good but maybe too good
@sportmadme Dexpan is very safe to use, it has to be placed in LINES of holes in order to SLOWLY crack concrete or rock. So people will realize if somebody tried something bad. Thank you
I'm sure this is a decent product with many uses... I just can't get over 0:45 "Dexpan works without the worries of noise, air blasts... flying rock or dust"
Yet at 8:07 this non explosive gives warning about blows outs of flying rock and dust? ... I thought with dexpan you weren't suppose to worry about that?
@rookiemcm77 Dexpan expands to crack reinforced concrete with 18000 PSI pressure, the "blow-outs" happen occasionally like a soda pop. Warning is for your safety. Please not to be confused with the flying rock in explosion? thank you for your comment
@NeoWolf07 Dexpan cures and dries up to expand, it shows in this video, once Dexpan starts to working it raises up a little bit since it has become solid cement type of thing. thank you
@ravand1990 Yes, Dexpan can demolish bedrock. You might need to dig around a buried rock, to give Dexpan expanding space. We have a lot of similar demolition photos on our webpage. Thank you
Can this be used to demolish concrete floor in a residential 1-car garage? The garage is detached from the house. My concern is that the expanding concrete floor will push on the concreted "footing" and perimeter foundation. A valid concern?
@rerite2 Use perimeter holes to stop the cracking. Perimeter holes are holes that left empty without filling up with Dexpan. Another thing is that in shallow applications (less than 4 inch deep), it may take longer for Dexpan to crack, since the holes don't hold enough marterial. Thank you
@gmanthebossman Dexpan has an Authorized MSDS (material Safety Data Sheet) showing it is not toxic. You will not have problem if it is running water. although fish may die if it is high in concentration. Dexpan has been used in some underwater applications (we have photos), like underwater rock removal, bridge piers demolition, river dam demolition and so on. We suggest that you show the MSDS to your local enviromental angency before you do the job. Thank you
@offspringmadboy Actually Dexpan saves a lot of time. We have hundreds photos of different jobs, many jobs are much larger that 20ft high pillars. For example some highway bridge piers were demolished with Dexpan, how large were they? drilled holes, filled with Dexpan, they were cracked next day. The larger and harder objects, the easier and faster with Dexpan :)
@nathanwilefrazier I think how to work more effective is more important than "fun". not mentioning safety and cost wise. Thank you for your comments :)
@sniegaviirs24 No, it is NOT TOXIC. Dexpan is an expanding cement, it cures and expands. Please refer to our MSDS (material safety data sheet). thank you
I'm speechless this is amazing! Everyone needs to know about this I can only imagine the number of industrial categories this would be used in. It's good to see some really original thinking in the world :)
@durzo2 Dexpan is Safe to use. please refer to our MSDS (material safety data sheet), which is authorized by a Canadian lab. Dexpan conforms ALL safety standards in the US, Canada, Europe and Mexico. the MSDS is available in 3 languages: English, Spanish and French
I've been thinking about importing dexpan for my customers overseas. Is it easy to store even in humid weather or do special measures need to be taken to maintain a humidity-free storage space?
@diamondblades Dexpan has many international distributors. Yes, Dexpan is packed in Humid-Proof bags, but of course it is always good to avoid too much humidity. Thank you
Wow this would've been great at our site . The Ottawa congress center was intertwined reallyh bad wit a mall and a high end hotel . Noise was a no no .
This stuff looks great, is there any way to control the direction of the cracks? Will a large cutoff line stop the cracks or would they run underneath the sawline to the adjacent stone/concrete?
the direction of the cracks can be controlled by lines of holes. Cracks follow your drilling design, come to our site to see different drilling patterns.
To stop the cracks, you may use a large cutoff line, or simply leave a line of holes empty (not filled)
what if i needed to get rd of a 40ftx60ft chunk of soft to drill limestone but hard on hoeram heads under ground.the area stays a little damp,would this stuff work
1) you may use bigger drill bit, 2 inch for example. our customer even use 3" drill bit
2) if it is for demolition, you may drill 2-3 feet apart instead of 1 foot
3) you may do dimensional cut by using custom drilling pattern
it is proven, the bigger job you get, the more time you save. we have hundreds job photos, come to see them and compare to other equipments, thank you
it is a misconcept that explosives work in seconds.
it could take months to carefully plan how much explosives to use, where to put them.
it even takes longer to clean up the messy job site after.
no metioning safty concerns and special training
with Dexpan, 24 hours is for FULL expansion which gives you cracks as big as 2 inches wide. if you only need hairline cracks, it may take 2 hours only. thank you
Time is Money on the job site. It is more time effective to use Jack Hammers and skid steers. If you can reach the material that need to be removed with a skid steer there is no need for the product in Concrete Demo.
In fact, we have many customers that spent months could not finish jobs with JACKHAMMERS AND SKID STEEER (mounted breaker), then they came to us, tried Dexpan, broke whatever that needed to be break, in TWO DAYS! NO SWEAT
Once you know Dexpan better, you know 24 hours is MAXIMUM, actual cracks may appear as little as two hours, thank you
jackhammer and other hydraulic breaker might be ok for 1-foot deep concrete.
Imagine demolishing a REINFORCED concrete foundation 200ft x 50ft x 5ft in depth ? with Dexpan, you may save weeks of time and thousands of dollars. We have hundreds of job photos on Dexpan site
Say what you want, this stuff works! Using it myself saved me thousands of dollars from having blasters come in to take care of a large boulder where my garage was going. It did take over 24 hours to crack the granite but it worked as shown. The most expensive part of doing the project was renting the compressor and rock drill to make the holes but electric drills couldn't do the job.
This stuff takes all the fun out of demolition work lol. Nice add though. But, they could have got the product name in one or two times more. Dont you think?
Fantastic! I didn't know this existed. What a great idea. I can see the benefits over explosives in many scenarios! Maybe this "anti-explosive" should win the Nobel prize?? That would be too ironic, or should I say ironoreic? Ahhhh, so bad, sorry.
Dexpan is being used in hundreds quarries and mines. Many quarry owners, demolition contractors and blasters have found that Dexpan is very SAFE and EFFECTIVE.
A driveway is not as thick as the one on video. This must be good in demolishing old driveways. Question; Can this be used to lift sagging portions of a driveway? how about damaged foundations that need lifting?
1) 24 hours is for FULL Expansion. Cracks may appear as short as 2 hours.
2) How long does it take to demolish a REINFORCED concrete foundation that is 1000 feet long? by Hammering? come to our website to see HUNDREDS of job pictures
@1marceltony Most likely for safety and non-intrusive reasons. From a practicality stand point, would you rather detonate a 15 ton slab into a thousand pieces and a cloud of fine particulate or slowly crack the slab into easy to remove sections?
Safety is one of the most important reasons to use Dexpan. Dexpan works by silent cracking, there is NO implosion, flying rock, ground vibration, dust, noise.
Dexpan is like a cement product. Come to our website to download an MSDS (material safety data sheet)
lol that is kind of cool... but 24 hours? thats kind of lame. give me a full sized breaker and that block of concrete would be rubble in prolly less then an hour.
Imagine demolishing a REINFORCED concrete block that is 100 feet wide by 200 feet long by 9 feet in depth? Good luck with full sized breaker, with Dexpan NO SWEAT!
And, 24 hours is for FULL expansion. Cracks may appear as little as 1 hour!
For building demolition, 1st Dexpan is fully controllable, does the demolition layer by layer, from top to bottom. This is very useful when the building is surrounded by other buildings. 2nd, Dexpan can be used to weaken a building, less explosives may be required. 3rd, Dexpan is useful for partial or interior demolition. CAUTION: building demolition is complicated, please have an engineer to contact us
To answer 2nd question, dont you think that you have to drill holes to put explosives?
The ad is kinda annoying.
Interesting product though. Does it work by Dexpan™ hardening into a rock/resin and crystalizing at the same time (like freezing water when it takes up more space)?

This is very useful when the building is surrounded by other buildings. 2nd, Dexpan can be used to weaken a building, less explosives may be required. 3rd, Dexpan is useful for partial or interior demolition. CAUTION: building demolition is complicated, please have an engineer to contact us
To answer 2nd question, dont you think that you have to drill holes to put explosives?
