With products and people: Mapei offers a continuous, reliable and advanced service of technical support during all the phases of works. Mapei has recently unveiled a new logo to represent its Precast Concrete Line, underscoring the company%u2019s commitment to supporting professionals in this sector through dedicated products, expert teams, and specialized know-how.How can Mapei%u2019s solutions help the precast concrete industry become more sustainable? Mapei approach sustainability from two complementary angles. On one hand, the company offers technologies that reduce the environmental impact of concrete production; on the other, it ensures long-term durability of precast elements. From a materials perspective, Mapei provides a wide range of solutions to support sustainable mix design and production:The RE-CON AGG admixtures enable the use of challenging aggregates like manufactured sand, recycled concrete aggregates or clay bearing sands. The absorption inhibiting properties of these admixtures enable higher dosages of these materials to be used as raw materials without leading to higher demands of water and cement, reducing CO2 emissions and controlling costs. The Cube System (Dynamon Cube and Mapecube admixtures) allows producers to use low-clinker cements in concrete mixes, reducing carbon emissions while maintaining high performance and ensuring durability. Re-Con Zero EVO technology makes it possible to reuse surplus concrete, minimizing waste and disposal needs. The combined effects of Re-Con Zero EVO and Re-Con AGG enables a much more circular material flow, saving both transportation costs and landfill fees.Dynamon NRG admixtures help reduce water consumption in concrete mixes while the Dynamon Cube 8000 range promotes early strength development, even with low-clinker cement types.Precast mixerCONCRETE PLANTINTERNATIONALTRADE JOURNALS FOR THE CONCRETE INDUSTRYAsk me a question.Hello, i%u00b4m CPi Chat!What is recycled concrete?Recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) are concrete waste that can be classified as fine recycled concrete aggregates (fRCA) and coarse recycled concrete aggregates (cRCA). RCA is typically free of masonry or brick components of construction and demolition waste (C&DW), as these materials have porous microstructures that significantly affect the properties of RCA [1]. RCA can be simplified as a two-phase composite material...This link will take you directly to the article:%u2022 [1] The use of recycled aggregates to produce concrete productsHello, i%u00b4mthe AI chatbot from CPI worldwide for the precast concrete industryI%u2018m an intelligent search engine and expert in all CPI contents.
