Researchers have found that adding just 1% antifreeze agent to recycled powder can significantly enhance its frost resistance. (Recycled powder is a supplementary cementitious material.) According to a study published in Scientific Reports, after 200 freeze-thaw cycles, the refined pore structure showed increased durability, making recycled concrete a strong contender for in cold climates.
