Words: Dan Kamys

The Mason Contractors Association of America (MCAA) is proud to announce that Hydro-Tailâ„¢ has joined the Masonry Alliance Program (MAP) at the Gold Level. Hydro-Tailâ„¢ is the 51st company to join the MAP, further solidifying the program's commitment to innovation and excellence in the masonry industry.

“I am most excited about getting involved with MCAA to bring more awareness to the Masonry industry about silicosis and the concerns that that have been lurking for over 90 years,” said David Jeansonne, President of Hydro-Tail. “Together we will get in front of this major health issue and highly reduce the risk of silicosis through the inhalation of silica dust. One Mission: YOU,” said David Jeansonne, President of Hydro-Tailâ„¢. 

Hydro-Tailâ„¢ is renowned for its universal controlled water attachment that easily attaches to any power tool. This innovative product not only significantly reduces the production of dangerous airborne/fine particle dust and silica, providing life-saving benefits, but also dramatically increases the life and performance of costly diamond blades and bits. The Hydro-Tailâ„¢ is extremely beneficial to those in the tile, stone, brick, or block industries, as well as many other trades and tasks dealing with dust and silica. It significantly aids in keeping job sites clean and dust-free by keeping silica dust at the point of contact.

"We are thrilled to welcome Hydro-Tailâ„¢ to the Masonry Alliance Program. Innovation is the future of our industry, and Hydro-Tailâ„¢ represents exactly how we move forward. Their commitment to safety and efficiency aligns perfectly with the MCAA, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact they will have on the masonry community," said Dan Kamys, MCAA Director of Content.

Items such as event attendance, advertising in MASONRY Magazine, sponsorships, content development, and more will no longer be available to any company outside of the 70 within this program.
