Cementir group aims to differentiate its white cement-based products offering by redefining and developing sustainable solutions which can support its customers' business through personalized services, know-how sharing, consulting and strategic partnerships.
Cementir group wants to challenge the traditional way of selling white cement, understanding those mega-trends and market needs that can redefine its role and function in the construction sector.
We began a journey into the complex high-performance concrete binder technology by leveraging a cutting-edge team within Aalborg InWhite SolutionsTM, a global innovation engine striving to capture market trends and our customers’ needs by developing new solutions inspired by environmental sustainability.
These trends include the development of new aesthetic coatings made in UHPC (Ultra-High-Performance Concrete) and UHPFRC (Ultra-High-Performance-Fiber-Reinforced Concrete) in the form of integrated prefabricated façade panels. These products show very high levels of compressive strength together with high traction capacity, long life, low water permeability and high workability.
The Aalborg Research and Quality Center is continuously working to develop new hydraulic binders capable of meeting emerging challenges. Aalborg Extreme®, Aalborg Excel® and INBIND® are the first innovative white cement solutions based on FUTURECEM® sustainable technology.
These innovative solutions allow you to respond to some fundamental needs, including:
- Low specific weight per square meter
- More efficient use of interior spaces thanks to reduced thickness
- Easy installation: finished products do not requiring further finishes
- Modular elements that can be disassembled and reused.
Aalborg Extreme® is a premixed high performance, self-compacting concrete for thin concrete products production with high aesthetic, mechanical and durability features. As this pre-packed material contains binders, additives and aggregates only the addition of water is necessary for mixing. This product is obtained by adding a combination of Supplementary Cement Materials (SCM) to AALBORG WHITE®, thus providing the blend of high-performance and significantly reduced CO2 content compared to ordinary Portland cement.
Main applications:
- High resistance light panels: facades, coverings, structural and ornamental elements
- Artistic and ornamental elements in cement
- Urban furniture.
Aalborg Excel® is a high-performance ready-to-use mortar for sophisticated aesthetics, used for glass fiber concrete or GRC (Glass Reinforced Concrete), composed of glass fibers, cement, sand and special resistant alkalis (AR) which provide high resistance and a remarkable eco-compatibility. This product is particularly suitable for complex finishes and is generally wet-cast or sprayed (semi-structural method).
Main applications:
- Facades, cladding, solar screens, ornamental elements, thanks to high resistance to compression and bending (aesthetic and architectural panels with a maximum diameter <15 mm)
- Artistic and ornamental elements made of concrete
- Architectural gardening and urban elements.
INBIND® is a white cementitious binder, based on FUTURECEM®, to be used in mortar and concrete recipes for high performance and highly aesthetical applications. The flexible binder solution supports precast producers to achieve highly customized UHPC with a selection of local aggregates and suitable admixture, by reducing the overall materials’ cost and complexity of the supply. INBIND® allows manufacturers to have their own more sustainable product meeting high performance and highly aesthetical requirements.
Main application:
All around binder suitable for wet-cast applications when high compressive strengths and aesthetics are required. Further uses can be explored on demand.
