The objective of the study is to evaluate the influence of the use of a co-product based on industrial solid waste from superabsorbent polymer and cellulose fiber (referred to as co-product) on an industrial scale as an internal curing agent and reinforcement in concrete for industrial flooring, applied by a partner concrete company in a real project. To this end, based on an experimental dosage study, concretes containing the co-product and a reference concrete were prepared, both with equivalent mechanical strength. The concretes were mixed and poured by a partner concrete company, applied to an industrial concrete floor whose physical and mechanical characteristics were evaluated. This made it possible to prove the equivalence between the concretes in terms of strength, but the Co-product concrete showed reduced shrinkage and proved effective in mitigating cracking, providing greater consolidation of the use of the co-product and an advance in its level of technological maturity.
