Avoid Dexpan Knock-Offs

If a deal seems too good to be true, then it probably is. 

That may sound like something your Dad would say, but these words of wisdom are especially true regarding building materials. 

Unfortunately substandard products are finding their way onto job sites at an alarming rate.  These counterfeit and knock-off products can have significant negative impacts on safety, reliability, project schedules, overall costs and quality of construction.

What about expansive grout?

In the case of expansive grout for the non-explosive breaking of concrete, rock and boulders, some importers source knock-off product from factories in China chasing a quick profit believing they can provide a similar product at a lower price.  

While they may import expansive grouts with marginal cost savings, buyer beware.   The cost of that lower price can be an inferior product with lower quality and unreliable performance.  

Possible Trade-Offs & Risks
Inconsistent Quality Control
Old or Stale Product
Unreliable Performance
Takes longer
Doesn’t work
Reacts too fast resulting in Blowouts
Product varies from purchase to purchase

Factories, particularly in China, may use lower grade materials and lax manufacturing standards to produce sub-standard knock-offs which are re-labelled/re-branded for North American and International markets.

These less reputable factories typically lack the skills, equipment and quality control processes to consistently produce expansive grout to North American standards.  They have difficulty competing with trusted name brand products unless corners are cut by using sub-quality materials, un-skilled workers and questionable working conditions.
