Benefits of CSP include a proven service life that can exceed 100 years with proper specification, sustainability from recycled material, strength, flexibility, versatility, and lightweight material.
By using homogenous material, CSP eliminates failures caused by stress cracks, shrinkage cracks, and air voids.
