Composition and manufacture
By varying the elements in the mix and their proportions, CEMEX supports specifying a concrete mix that perfectly matches project requirements.
Environment
In blended cement concrete, CEMEX is replacing a percentage of the cement with ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) or pulverised fuel ash (PFA). By using concrete that contains less CEM I, an energy intensive substance to manufacture, contractors can significantly reduce their environmental impact. Blended cement concrete is a lower carbon building material, with up to 40% less embodied carbon. This is reflected in improved Ecopoints scores, allowing the meeting of increasingly tough sustainability requirements.
