The Duracast Advantage
Through extensive research and development, US Weight has developed a proprietary casting process that assures unmatched durability, flexural toughness, strength, design flexibility, and value for a variety of utility weight and counterweight applications.
Building on the US Army Research and Engineer Development Center’s extensive research and development of bomb-resistant materials including Very High Strength Concrete (VHSC), US Weight designs and fabricates a unique range of castings that provide superior compressive and tensile strength for a wide range of industry verticals. Our casting process, developed over many years, is based on a careful selection, mixture, and treatment of materials that combine to increase density, improve toughness, and create a powerful microstructure for the finished products.
Duracast is rugged, versatile, and used across a wide variety of industry verticals including agricultural, retail, lawn & garden, and industrial markets. Duracast achieves compressive strength ranging from 6,000 psi – 18,000 psi depending on the application. As a finishing step, US Weight’s Duracast is encased in Edgeguard, a thick UV-resistant HDPE casing, which provide additional weather and rust protection as well as design flexibility for the wide range of applications and industry verticals in the field today.
