Waterproof bricks
Waterproof bricks being viewed underwater by their developer, Mario Candor. These bricks have been made from clay that has been modified by adding a styrene acrylic copolymer to alter its properties. The copolymer (Acronals 650) is from the Acronal range by the German company BASF. It makes up 3% of the bricks weight, improving their strength, making them waterproof and removing the need to fire them. The product will be launched in 2003

A2 (59.4 x 42cm) Poster Print
Discover the fascinating world of innovative construction with our Media Storehouse Poster Prints featuring the captivating image of "Waterproof Bricks" by Science Photo Library. Witness the intrigue as developer Mario Candor examines these unique creations underwater. Crafted from clay enhanced with a styrene acrylic copolymer, these waterproof bricks represent a groundbreaking solution to traditional building materials. Add this thought-provoking print to your space to inspire curiosity and spark conversation about the future of engineering and design.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Product Size is 42cm x 59.4cm (16.5" x 23.4")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate
Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with portrait (vertical) orientation to match the source image.
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hilarious snapshot, we see the brilliant mind behind a groundbreaking invention, Mario Candor, exploring his creation underwater. With a mischievous grin on his face and goggles securely in place, Mario is fully immersed in testing his waterproof bricks. These extraordinary bricks are no ordinary clay structures; they have been revolutionized by adding a special styrene acrylic copolymer called Acronals 650 from BASF. This innovative material constitutes only 3% of the brick's weight but brings about remarkable changes to its properties. Mario's genius engineering has resulted in bricks that boast enhanced strength and durability while eliminating the need for firing them. The addition of Acronals 650 has rendered these bricks completely impervious to water, making them ideal for withstanding even the harshest weathering conditions. As our comedic German researcher dives deeper into the depths of scientific exploration, he showcases how this new materials technology can withstand erosion and remain intact underwater. His playful antics not only demonstrate the effectiveness of these polymer-infused bricks but also add an element of humor to this otherwise serious field. With their launch scheduled for 2003, these waterproof wonders are set to transform traditional building practices. Thanks to Mario Candor's ingenuity and BASF's cutting-edge product range, construction projects around the world will soon benefit from stronger, more resilient structures that laugh in the face of nature's elements.
