Fine Art Print : Waterproof bricks
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Waterproof bricks
Waterproof bricks being viewed underwater by their developer, Mario Candor. These bricks have been made from clay that has been modified by adding a styrene acrylic copolymer to alter its properties. The copolymer (Acronals 650) is from the Acronal range by the German company BASF. It makes up 3% of the bricks weight, improving their strength, making them waterproof and removing the need to fire them. The product will be launched in 2003

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hilarious snapshot, we see the brilliant mind behind a groundbreaking invention, Mario Candor, exploring his creation underwater. With a mischievous grin on his face and goggles securely in place, Mario is fully immersed in testing his waterproof bricks. These extraordinary bricks are no ordinary clay structures; they have been revolutionized by adding a special styrene acrylic copolymer called Acronals 650 from BASF. This innovative material constitutes only 3% of the brick's weight but brings about remarkable changes to its properties. Mario's genius engineering has resulted in bricks that boast enhanced strength and durability while eliminating the need for firing them. The addition of Acronals 650 has rendered these bricks completely impervious to water, making them ideal for withstanding even the harshest weathering conditions. As our comedic German researcher dives deeper into the depths of scientific exploration, he showcases how this new materials technology can withstand erosion and remain intact underwater. His playful antics not only demonstrate the effectiveness of these polymer-infused bricks but also add an element of humor to this otherwise serious field. With their launch scheduled for 2003, these waterproof wonders are set to transform traditional building practices. Thanks to Mario Candor's ingenuity and BASF's cutting-edge product range, construction projects around the world will soon benefit from stronger, more resilient structures that laugh in the face of nature's elements.
