A script for a motion picture production about Vinsol, a cement additive developed by the Hercules Powder company. The script describes how Vinsol is derived from tree resins. Then, a series of tests are demonstrated to show the difference in concrete with and without Vinsol added. It is proven that concretes with Vinsol decrease machine grinding in mills, resist scaling during extreme environmental conditions, and increase its workability to speed operations.
