Holcim launches concrete innovation
Holcim is launching a new high-performance concrete on the market. It enables thinner and longer structures, which saves both space and material. The development will initially be launched in Europe, America and the Asia-Pacific region.
Holcim has developed a new high-performance concrete called DYNAMax. According to a media release from the Zug-based building materials group, it can be used to build thinner and longer structures than with conventional concrete. On the one hand, this enables larger usable rooms. On the other hand, material is saved in building.
Holcim also paid attention to the overall ecological footprint of DYNAMax. In addition to the reduced use of materials, the product is characterized by local production, “short transport routes” and a recyclable and completely reusable profile.
DYNAMax will initially be launched in Europe, North and South America and the Asia-Pacific region in 2022.
“Given today’s population and urbanization trends, DYNAMax is an ideal material for building smart cities. It offers high performance so that you can build more with less, without compromising aesthetics and functionality, ”says Jan Jenisch, CEO of Holcim.
