= R-E-D Industrial Products = R-E-D Industrial Products is a Pennsylvania based business that distributes supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) for the concrete, refractory, and oil and gas industries. These products include Silica Fume, Metakaolin and Micronized White Silica (crushed glass).

History
The “R-E-D” in the name stands for Reliable, Efficient and Dependable. The company was established in 2010 by CEO Rodney Chiodo, a graduate of the Pennsylvania State University. With over 45 years of combined experience in the manufacturing industry, the goal of R-E-D Industrial Products was to create a company focused on supplementary cementitious material geared to serve the concrete, oil and gas, and refractory industries. In 2014, following the World of Concrete R-E-D Industrial Products entered into a long-term supply agreement with the Mississippi Silicon/RIMA Group. Mississippi Silicon/RIMA Group is a global leader in silicon-based products with six manufacturing facilities in Brazil and one in the United States. This long-term agreement gives R-E-D Industrial Products exclusive rights to the silica fume produced which establishes R-E-D Industrial Products as a major provider within the industry.

In 2017, R-E-D expanded its product line to include Metakaolin, Micronized White Silica (crushed glass), and Carbon/Graphite products. Since its founding, the company has been able to provide materials for a multitude of projects ranging from private contracts to federal and state funded infrastructure ventures.

R-E-D Industrial Products growth in the supplementary cementitious material industry has led them to become accepted members of a number of industry-related associations and institutions that define the standard in the industry. This led them to being accepted into the silica fume association in 2018, which is recognized by the American Concrete Institute (ACI) as the leading authority of silica fume producers in America. CEO Rodney Chiodo has been a standing board member since 2018. In addition, the company also belongs to the National Precast Concrete Association, Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institution, ACI and the America Ceramic Society (ACERS). This has added to R-E-D Industrial products growing presence in the Silica Fume industry thus accomplishing the company’s mission of becoming a notable contributor in the supplementary cementitious Industry.

Projects
Since its founding R-E-D Industrial Products as a company has provided materials that have been included in a variety of projects that include United States transportation infrastructure and international transit. R-E-D Industrial Products materials have been included in notable Department of Transportation projects such as maintenance of the Hamptons Road Tunnel, High Rise Bridge in Virginia, Oroville Dam and globally the Panama Canal.

Silica Fume
R-E-D Industrial Products supplies silica fume for concrete products, and the refractory and oil and gas industries. Silica fume is used in High-Performance Concrete due to the pozzolanic reaction, packing properties, increased strength, porosity and permeability reductions, and the prevention of corrosion, alkali reaction, and freeze-thaw. Silica fume, when used in refractory, provides enhanced particle packing, lower porosity and more stable volume. In the oil and gas industry, silica fume is used as a primary placement of grout in sealing processes as well as a blocking agent in the oil well grout.

Metakaolin
R-E-D Industrial Products metakaolin product is METAKAO 110 HR. This product can be used as a primary additive to concrete, or as part of a ternary blend with other supplementary cementitious materials.

Micronized White Silica (crushed glass)
R-E-D Industrial Products supplies White Silica (105WS) crushed glass that is milled down to a specific dimension meeting ASTM C1866M/C1866-20 specification. Typical applications are included in decorative and aesthetic applications.

Other Products
R-E-D Industrial Products offers additional materials, including fly ash, carbon/graphite and slag/fly ash alternatives.
