SELF COMPACTING CONCRETE
Significantly improve productivity and performance gains on your site using Evolution.
In an ever more demanding and extremely competitive environment, with tight deadlines and even tighter margins, speed and efficiency which save time are critical. Evolution, from CEMEX, is a self levelling concrete solution that can help save valuable time and labour cost.
FOAMED CONCRETE
Porofoam is a range of low density foam concrete designed specifically for voidfill, stabilisation and other lightweight applications.
Foamed concrete is a highly workable, low density material incorporating air.
It is generally self levelling, self compacting and may be pumped. Risk of plastic shrinkage or settlement cracking is significantly lower than that of standard concrete.
FAST SETTING CONCRETE
Promptis® is a new rapid hardening concrete solution, this fast setting concrete can help save valuable time during construction.
In an ever more demanding and extremely competitive environment, with tight deadlines and even tighter margins, speed and efficiency which save time are critical. Promptis®, from CEMEX, is a new rapid hardening concrete solution that can help save valuable hours.
WATERPROOF CONCRETE
Permatite is a watertight concrete system suitable for basements, swimming pools, lift pits, green rooftops and many other structures that require effective waterproofing.
CEMEX Permatite, available exclusively from CEMEX UK, is a concrete designed to meet the requirements of waterproofing as defined in BS8102 (all grades).
REINFORCED CONCRETE
Concrete Technology based on a novel Hyper- Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete.
A Concrete Technology engineered to achieve unprecedented mechanical performance and durability. Resilia is a special ready-mix concrete solution addressing challenges where high strength and high ductility are required.
PERVIOUS/PERMEABLE CONCRETE
